I’m a big enough man to acknowledge when I’m wrong. Lord knows it happens all the time. My frustration comes from these already tried solutions that aren’t going to solve the issue. Which is that the people you need to convince aren’t going to trust a government funded news source at this point. Not that privatized media is any better for actual factual journalism. You see what I’m saying? The only good journalism now is from books that are well cited, which are hard to actually produce and 99 percent of people don’t read. That’s why this frustrates me so much.
Which has proven catastrophic… But i guess that’s what you like?
No. I hate it. But pushing funding into corporate media is going to exacerbate that issue is the problem.
I usually hear that to refer to privately owned media, which this isn’t.
So your solution is total corporate ownership of any and all news outlets?
Honestly man, I don’t actually have a good solution to this. It’s a shitty situation our modern media has backed itself into.
Well doubling down on what caused the problem is not likely a good solution
They acknowledged my points so I appreciated that.

Which is why we need to reframe it more accurately. They government doesn’t fund it: we do.
