What would you rather have it controlled by... the Government?

It's not about who, but about _how_ _many_ _different_ entities
provide news content.

I would prefer that news media content were not controlled at all
other than being truthful and providing _all_ the news.

However, I do expect the government to control public resources like
the NAS and the electromagnetic frequency spectrum, and limit the
influence of any single entity from dominating the people's interests.
