You don't see any conflict of interest with the government being a main sponsor of publication of news?

  Do you see any conflict of interest between the government appointing judges who will then, at some point during their career, probably hear civil lawsuits against the government? The independence of the judiciary developed throughout the 1500s and 1600s and then finally, in Britain, was consolidated into a formal principle with the Act Of Settlement of 1706. And since that time, the principle of independent appointees of the government carrying out government functions is an idea that has spread to other areas of government. We can certainly put in place guarantees of an independent NEA.

    Have you considered that an independent judiciary has been aided by an independent media? Who will watch the watchers and all.

    To me, what you are saying sounds more akin to government mandated attorneys for litigants in civil suits though, not judges. And yes, I would see that being an issue.
