Australia's ABC to a lesser extent is the same.
If a free-enterprise fourth estate fails, I wonder if more countries will create similar publicly funded versions.
- jacquesm 17y agoThe netherlands has the NOS, it's along similar lines but in a niche language (only 27 million dutch speakers world wide). Nowhere near the budget and not even remotely near it in quality and coverage.
- _delirium 17y agoYeah, even as an American I tend to use http://news.bbc.co.uk/ http://news.bbc.co.uk/ as my main online news source. Sure beats CNN, MSNBC, FoxNews, ABC, and the rest of that variety of nonsense.
