Nah, not “state run”. It will just get funds from the government and rich friends, and most of it will be funnelled in his pocket as usual, all to only report on what HE is doing or saying. Maybe cable ops will be forced to include it in their packages, who knows?
That’s what TruthSocial is now, and to a certain extent other private social networks (X, Facebook, etc.), since they’re run by oligarchs who submit to his will. It’s the modern version of fascist Italy.
