Yes, several state-run and private media organizations operate without profits or at a loss in order to spread misinformation.
> which major media operations are operating at a loss how for the public good (discounting state run) and how?
Sorry, I was unable to properly understand your question.
In any case, I never said the organizations that are not primarily concerned with chasing profits are “major” ones. I believe that applies best to lesser-well-known entities, like those who live on social media or the blogosphere. Though there are some instances of major state-run companies, even on TV and on the radio, that operate in a similar fashion.
Also, I am surely not equating the spread of misinformation with serving the public good — these are just distinct objectives that may be sought by media organizations, rather than avoiding bankruptcy.
