You had an argument there… and then you mentioned state news. Ones that are just as eager to produce clickbait bullshit and constantly frame everything to either align with one political direction/party -totally coincidently of course- is well-connected with leading positions of those boradcaster or to make even the most rediculous crazy topics a valid opinion in a gigantic shit pile of false balancing. And so your argument sadly fell apart.

Yes, state news as they are right now, are indeed a waste of our tax euros and they don’t even come close to doing the job they are supposed to do. They however manage to waste incredible amounts of money on entertainment that is not their job at all, while also only addressing a very narrow spectrum of viewers. That’s impressive, but not actually good either…
