Why is it tolerated that certain media outlets are known for the stance they will take on issues that come before them.
Why are media outlets so one dimensional?
It is because they are not independent, rather controlled or owned by those using them to push a line that suits their benefactors.
Why are Governments not able to be trusted for the efficacy of their decisions. It is because they are controlled or influenced by lobby groups doing the same to them as happens in the media.
This is why Governments cannot be trusted to fund a public media outlet, for they directly or indirectly try to influence the editorial basis of the outlet.
It is fixable through legislation where any attempt to interfere in the workings of a public broadcaster are punishable by law and the government has no ability to reduce the amount of funding as a measure of control.
An independent media outlet is one that deals with issues on their merit and is not predictable in their approach.
An independent media is a sign of a free society, a controlled one is a sign of a society which accepts being manipulated by a few for their personal gain through their media outlet.
