Yet another reason to like YLE, the tax-funded Finnish state
broadcasting corporation, which produces and licenses TV programming,
news, talkshows, entertainment etc. It keeps the commercial media honest
and, should the commercial media go bankrupt, guarantees the population
stays informed.

I'm guessing most of the countries in the world have state-sponsored
media. The US seems to be the odd man out.
