Well, I think we all agree with this. Government, under either party, gets involved in pushing partisan narratives way too often.
News shouldn't be influenced by financial incentives or government incentives. The conclusions of scientists shouldn't be influenced by financial incentives or political partisanship. Political decisions shouldn't be influenced by rich donors.
But I have no idea how we'd get from where we are now to a pure system like that.
