There’s absolutely state-funded media in the U.S. It just doesn’t encompass as much as those in the UK or Australia.

C-Span is a good example.

The Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network[1] isn't publicly funded, no.

PBS, NPR, and, via the Corporation for Public Broadcasting[2], lots of individual, independent local radio and television stations.

npr gets like 2% of its funding from public sources, despite being national public radio. they're as beholden to moneyed and corporate interests as nytimes, and as partisan and outrage-oriented too. i stopped donating years ago.

I had to stop as well.

The article defending looting was absolutely a breaking point.

not sure which article was your breaking point, but for me, it's been a steady downhill slide for at least 5 years, with the complete whiff on the run-up to the 2016 election being a real wake-up-and-take-stock affair.
