All advanced countries in the World have publicly funded media, in the US I guess that would be PBS and NPR.

It is a good idea because private media won´t produce cultural or history documentaries that spread useful knowledge, they don´t produce anything that does not turn a profit, the problem is that nearly always the publicly funded media ends up being a mouth piece for whoever is ruling the government, they are not necessarily woke, in Russia for example public media are pro-Putin, the problem is the person in government and not necessarily the media being publicly funded.
