    I guess I can’t imagine a better system.

    If people want propaganda there’s literally nothing that could stop that.

    Sure, every major news outlet is biased, but people can read what a variety of outlets have to say and synthesis the truth from that (there was an AI that did that a while back that was pretty cool) or people could much smaller sources (even one person) that’s good at research that they somewhat trust and get their news there. The important thing is just that the government doesn’t interfere and everyone’s free to say whatever they want.

    I don’t like that news sources are corrupt, but they have so much power and influence that someone’s going to figure out a way to bribe them no matter what.
