BBC is counterargument to what you wrote. It shows that publicly founded news outlets can work without being government propaganda tube.


His argument wasn't that all state-funded news media is a propaganda machine. His argument was that it easily can become one, and you won't have a better option, since all the other news media would be choked out of existence.

There are other private TV outlets in those countries in EU and this legislation will not change it. Lets stop being paranoid and portraying legislation that should protect our privacy as something that will destroy democracy.


That's just going to fuel nationalism.
