Comment on the internet is worse.

  I think that would be opening a pretty nasty can of worms. I don’t trust any ruling power to decide what “quality” means for the press.

    Not really, for instance, BBC news is regulated and a lot more reliable and factual than anything in the US. An the US had minimal regulations prior to the 90s which is why the quality of journalism in my country has crumbled in my lifetime.

    Or another way to put it: the ruling party DOES regulate the news in America, but the ruling party is the wealthy folks who own the news. There is almost no worse system than “funding” the news to get quality.
