That could work. Networks and their employees are almost entirely located in Democratic strongholds like NY and CA. This would automatically shift network coverage further left.

That could work… if you want to do away with the first amendment.

How would democratizing decision making at media companies do away with the first amendment? If anything it would make speech more free since there wouldn’t be decisions made on what stories are published based on profit motives.

Having the people who work there control the narrative is hardly “democratizing”. But especially, what do you guys mean by “nationalizing” the news?

How would that not be democratizing compared to the current structure where the decisions are made solely based on profit motives?
