It points to a wider backlash across Europe against compulsory public media funding, elite narratives, and a broadcasting model many voters no longer trust.In this video, Michael Heaver looks at the new Czech governments push to overhaul public media after winning a mandate for change. He explains how Andrej Babi and his allies want to cut funding, scrap monthly user fees for senior citizens, young people and companies, and force a rethink of what public service broadcasting should be.
