Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Government ownership of the press and radio tends to decrease the quality of government as it reduces media independence and enables the government to control the flow of information. This can lead to the suppression of dissent, lack of transparency, and propaganda. It also restricts economic freedom by limiting the competition in the media market and can potentially increase social corruption as the government can manipulate the news to suit their interests.
