    Our news system has no integrity, and is loyal only to money. Ad campaigns are the only option to reach the passively informed with a clear and uncompromised message.

      Is there no publicly funded news media / broadcaster? Like the German Tagesschau, or UK’s BBC, or the Canadian CBC, etc? Typically there’s a higher amount of trust for those, since they are mostly acting independently and the majority of funding coming from the people itself.

        We have NPR and PBS. They don’t get as much exposure as corporate news. You’ll see posts on Lemmy from both publications often, but this is obviously not the average American’s experience.

        There is, unfortunately they’re viewed by on of the political parties as being evil liberal propaganda machines, and they very much want to privatize them or just sell all of their content off and shutter them.
