1 year agoI mean, kids can get injured or die doing anything. We had a case a while back in Australia where a bunch of kids got injured and five died when freak winds lifted a jumping castle (bounce house; moon bounce; whatever you call them) off the ground and into the air before slamming them back down.
I’d suggest that a key exception to this is for state-funded, independent broadcasters such as the BBC, Deutsche Welle, the Australian ABC, NPR etc.
Because they have a profit-motive removed, I find that the quality of their journalism can often be higher than commercial media. Not always true (and it’s becoming increasingly untrue) but it’s the most common form of journalism that is both free to consume and of a relatively high quality.
