I am not completely up to date on the right/left positioning, but I agree state-funded media is needed as a baseline to at least properly convey any purely factual issue (i.e. it's optimal for official info, like which law passed or who won the elections cough). Of course it can't be the only media, nor should be trusted that much more than other media for any generic topic. In particular it shouldn't be trusted to be complete nor people focused, so there is still the need to find other sources that complete the picture with different angles that can be crucial.
