Point is, we must be able to hold somebody responsible for hate speech, defamation etc.
Here the public broadcasting is financed by license fees and they have a clear mission to find all angles etc. Like BBC.

Yes, but you must note a “party line” - in the BBC it’s quite clear… no?
-
Sure. The BBC is "liberal". In Sweden most consider them to be left too. Most important for me is the non-alternative facts.
-
I also desire facts. When “public broadcasters” include “editorial” I begin to cringe. Nobody offers facts only these days
-
True. The debate here about that very issue is fierce and has been going on forever and will continue to do so.

Oh yes! That’s why a solid education in critical thinking, broadcast throughout the population, is the best “public” service :)
-
Absolutely. Education is the mother of everything. The lack of critical thinking can destroy most things.
-
Yup. IMO we wouldn’t care about “fake” news (which existed in garbage newspapers for decades) if we spent EFFORT creating stronger minds :)
-
With that effort there also would not be a market for garbage news. That is the positive view in libertarian thinking.
