Yes, I know. Just pointing out that media isn't the only industry that's state funded to the person who's comment was just "media".
That seems like a contradiction.
This is why you can't stop at "who funded it" as an indicator of bias and editorial control, but have to look at what is actually produced as well.
Clair Cameron Patterson famously took money from the leaded gasoline industry to help fund his research demonstrating the harms of leaded gasoline.
If you build editorial independent into a legal charter, and have a government that isn't authoritarian and protects the rule of law, why is it a contradiction?
