Response to Alex's question

"Do you think that a government-controlled news service could be a good idea, or do the risks outweigh the possible benefits?"

This is the question the dragon chose to answer after reviewing the selection I brought it.

"It is an interesting question, and largely depends on the government in question, the culture being ruled by said government, and how much the populace trusts the government. If the government is too corrupt, it would run into the same problems as today's news channels, selling itself out to the highest bidder, too controlling and it would begin down the propaganda path. If the culture is too rebellious, then they will never trust the government, and the government is more likely to be a stricter one, and would also probably air on the side of propaganda, too trusting, and the government would likely grow corrupt. It is a fine balance, that would only work in the most ideal setting. To sum up, it is possible, simply not feasible in today's world." The great beast blinked at me after a pause, and responded, " It is generally polite to return an answer with another question in a brainstorming such as this." I thanked the dragon profusely, and wandered out of the cave, my mind whirling with thoughts as it so often did, and one question stood out:

Would it be possible to have a truly impartial unbiased source of news in todays society, and if so, how would it work?
