I think it's more we would never tolerate a state run media or trust it's authenticity. With a democracy the majority party would be using it to shape the news and maintain control. A free media is essential in a republic. Although VOA may be accurate it is state run so not free. When I watch the news I can be reasonably certain it's the truth as best to those reporting know it not what my government wants me to believe.
