- ekianjo 2y agoyou typically dont behave the same way when you receive a check from someone. just like people dont openly criticize their boss at work. Maybe Switzerland has a better system but in most countries state funded media ends up being the voice of the state
- Rinzler89 2y agoIf it's like in Austria, then the state media doesn't receive cheques from the state government, but directly from the taxpayers via a separate tax collected by an independent agency granted power by the state, and not from the state itself. On paper this makes it so that the state media is reporting directly to the paying citizens similar to a national Patreon, in practice IMO, it's still state control but with extra steps and middlemen designed to give the illusion of independence.
