>You would do much better job by first learning what the world outside your country has to say about those simple ideas of yours.
1. This sounds a bit condescending
2. E.g.: Switzerland just voted to keep theirs. Seems to be seen as desriable
3. OPs problem wasn't that they are an outlet for a political faction, but that they struggle to finance themselves and are almost forced to pander to an audience to attract advertisement
4. Living in a country where the state financed media is heavily status quo biased (germany) but also produces and finances some of the most scathing criticisms of the same (Boehmerman), I feel we need to be wary of false equivalences. State financed media isn't a perfect panacea to political pandering, but it's definitely better than the cesspool that comes from having only private media sources (or depending on the 'good will' of billionaires)
