Let's humour this idea, and see if we disagree... So we defund them forcing them to compete for a share of the privatised market, in which case 1) they go under as all without sufficient funding do, or 2) they seek subscriptions from an audience who agrees with the thing's they print. This is no different, because instead of pandering to governments seeking shade- they now pander to CEOs seeking clicks 🤷‍♂️ ...in neither case do you get journalists seeking truth, ...only stenographers for CEOs chasing popular opinion, and avoiding stories joe blogs calls propaganda, the way Sean avoids covid, Ukraine, Israel/Palestine etc ...
