Have you heard of the BBC? Try reading Manufacturing Consent. The government doesn't need to, they already get their message out in spades with virtually no opposition on anything they consider important.

The BBC is not a monopoly. There's a huge difference between a state-run public broadcaster and a state-run monopoly of social media.

Is an unaccountable corporate monopoly with a revolving door with government better?
