And I mentioned an example explicitly by saying SVT was unwilling to report on immigration policies issues for a while, what's your point? I did agree there is bias in any news media, but bias isn't black-and-white in determining the reputation of a news/media agency, there's a point where it's detrimental and there's a natural point where it's expected but does not affect the reporting as much to disregard the organisation as a whole.
There's worlds of difference between what Fox News does and what SVT does, I'd much rather live in a society where SVT provides news to a large cohort of the population rather than Fox News.
You stating the obvious is not moving this discussion forward... Your bias against state-owned enterprises is clear, not only from this chain of comments, still in this case it's unfounded and just your ideology.
- WalterBright 3y ago> Your bias against state-owned enterprises is clear This is an incomplete statement. The biases of any media company are clear. The bias of a state-funded media company are in favor of those in power that control the funding. The biases of a free market media company are those that finance the company. The difference is that with the free market, you have multiple biases to select from, and it is not backed by the power of the government. > till in this case it's unfounded and just your ideology. I know how human nature works. Consider the Don Lemon vs Elon Musk interview. Musk was going to finance Lemon big time. To kick it off, he was going to let Lemon interview him. Lemon proceeded to do his best to insult Musk and try to get Musk to say something embarrassing. Afterwards, Musk decided he was not going to finance Lemon. Whoever pays the piper calls the tune. It's a fantasy that having government funded media means independent journalism.
