  • I'm not claiming that it's completely independent. But there are safeguards preventing direct influence of parliament on the media.

    So, yes: it depends on the state, but it's not (directly) influenced by the executive/legislative/judicative branches of government.

  • In Germany (and other parts of Europe), there are systems in place to prohibit dependence of the broadcasters On the government.

    The Austrian broadcasting service (ORF) is known to be quite sceptical of the conservative government. The former chancellor of Austria actually wanted to coopt it, like Orban did in Hungary and failed to do so. That's basically, why he's the former chancellor.

    You can compare it to the European Central Bank, or the FED.

    It's not resistant to nepotism, but it's way better than the corporate hellscape you see in the US media.

  • You are dn the internet and not everyone here is from the US.

    The US political system is not the center of the political world.

    In fact, I think that the Democrat Republican dichotomy is one reason why people in the west are so badly informed when it comes to politics.
