    The US used to have a great answer for that: They paid Broadcaster to have a news show. Not content, just here is some cash, have a news show with journalists.

    Then that got cut, and the news shows needed to rely solely on ads; which ahs gotten us to where we are.

    Personally, the US having a federal news program would be a good thing.
    As long as it is open, and maintains journalistic integrity.
    No, I do not want other news agency to be forced to repeat what it says, nor wold I want it immune to criticism.

    Nope. They manipulate the people who then vote for an official.
    It's why I have come to believe that the word 'News' should become a protected word with strict journalistic guideline.

    Nope.
    It's a "conspiracy theory." when you have no actual data to back up a statement. Usually note be the ever expanding circle the conspiracy must encompass when you raise questions about the person uttering the conspiracy theory.

    I'm sorry* reality doesn't coincide with your pet narrative. Doubly sorry* you seem to be aware of critical thinking, yet have no idea how to use it or what it actually is.

    *I'm no really sorry.

    " Denial of reading the classics."
    doesn't happen.

    " The elimination of poetry and Shakespeare"
    still taught,.

    And you fail to illustrate why classics and Shakespeare are necessary for good literacy. Most classics are irrelevant and don't apply to anything to today's cultures, and the other ones can only be reflected on by people with a certain amount of experience. Adults. Moby Dick is a great book. If you like thinking about sentence structure and have enough hard experience to appreciate at it.
    I hated Moby Dick at 14, loved it at 40.

    "Replacement with texts designed to limit vocabulary "
    not true.

    "more importantly, limit thinking."
    again, not true.

    " The almost assured dropout rate of at least 34% as the kids too stupid to achieve common core drop out from frustration and the kids too smart for common core drop out from boredom."
    again. false.
