It was a dream. But a good one. Until we manage to go full communism someone will have to make something for their time and effort in order to live. But if we broke up most of the media. And put strict regulation against publicly owned companies owning or trying to pass themselves as anything relating to news. It would be a good start. Stuff being privately owned does not automatically make it more factual. But at least an owner might have a reputation that they could value. When it comes to publicly owned companies. Where the bottom line is profit. Truth and factuality are the first things sacrificed.
