Re:Obvious
A private channel needs to follow the mainstream in order to please as many viewers as possible.
Otherwise no bucks for advertizing.
Public non commercial channels aim towards everybody and therefore also towards minorities.
They're not accountable to advertizers and don't have to bow to their law.
But they have a role, to inform even those who wouldn't look at the private channels.
This is about democracies, of course, where private channels exist too.
