Or public, like the BBC for example.

    Probably not the best idea though for independent journalism. My country had a publicly funded news agency and it was notorious for never reporting any bad thing the government did.

    Speaking from the US, so please forgive my underlying bias:

    If we could figure out how to actually maintain a "separation of powers" maybe we could actually have a little more "for the people, by the people". And I don't mean it as just a US standpoint (though I am quoting our doctines), because I do believe that those ideologies have merit. But here I am in the US, still "wondering" how "separation of church and state" can't be (and never truly was) maintained.

    People hold the power AND people need to be held accountable. I really wish we could find a way to balance that appropriately. Maybe simply throwing around a few more "-isms" could fix it (the last sentence is sarcasm)
