I think you’re wrong about government funded news. It will always be less biased than privately funded news because democratic governments (even Trump) are held accountable in a way that no private company ever will be.

We definitely shouldn’t get all our news from the government but it’s hardly the horror show Americans seem to think it is. Especially in a democratic country.

Facebook was not built on the backs of journalist has always been about chatting to friends and family first, strangers second, and news a distant third

Facebook has clearly stated they don’t profit off news. I’m inclined to believe them until proven otherwise, especially since I can open the Facebook app and there is literally no news anywhere to be seen.
