"How the government uses funding to keep media in line" This article is an analysis of how government uses funding, directly and indirectly, to capture the media. It describes trends in how governments use funding to control media by not financing independent journalism, but choosing to fund instead media outlets that advance the government agenda and the interests of its allies and supporters, either political groups or businesses. In many countries it is said that the media is free to publish anything they like. It's the Freedom of Speech. But more and more, specially in Western countries, government controlled media is getting more grip on the Freedom of Speech.
The Netherlands was the best example of this freedom. But more and more the media there is controlled by the government. How? The government is funding the media, i.e. the NOS as a TV broadcaster. Comparing the news the NOS brings with i.e. RTL (a private owned broadcaster), shows a specific difference in subjects. Also the NOS is bringing FakeNews. I.e. about president Putin. The NOS shows that Putin has no time to answer questions. But other media show that Putin, using his interpretor, is answering these questions. More over, other members in the media like BNNVARA, are supporting left-wing political parties. They are bringing left-wing politicians in daily talk-shows in a non-objective setting. Both NOS and BNNVARA are funded by the government, which is questionable. It's clear: MONEY TALKS
