It in no way MUST be government sponsored.

Nice word play..  However Walter Cronkite was probably the last nightly news anchor to carry himself with integrity, and not allow his own bias to show through.  Heck, he told us all about the Iran hostage crisis and kept a straight face the entire way. 

Heck, when I studied Journalism, in the early '90s, I still thought that the point was to tell the news.  But, after the way Dessert Storm was covered, the focus went on "human life", rather than the hard facts.  People wanted the soft news, rather than the hard facts.  The Left controlled media recognized that, and was able to help the philandering Bill Clinton get elected. 

Things in the media have only went downhill since..
