And this is why state sponsored, but _not_ controlled media is what you want.
In most countries that have these institutions, these media outlets are consistently rated, by both sides of the local spectrums, as being the most balanced.
Note, that this is _not_ the same as saying that they cannot be biased, since at the end of the day every decision is the result of some bias or another, but their mandate is to serve the greater public, and so they don't try to carve out and to chase a specific demographic.
