    I honestly don’t think this is a bad idea for the US…for now at least. Right now your typical options for official statements from government leaders are either through (1) politically polarized media like CNN or Fox, (2) paid subscription to better journalism, or (3) social media monopolies like Twitter (X) and Instagram. Can we really not fund something entirely independent of a mega-corporation to get official info out?

      PBS and NPR through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

      The Voice of America through the United States Agency for Global Media.

      People think they’re boring, not enough anger.
