So that's a good thing then right? If they are critical they are more likely to present topics without sugar coating them? They don't have to fear American advertisers pulling adds off the air, they don't have to fear not being invited to the White House news room and having access to govt related press releases.

And in general that is also true with other news media. Like Al Jazeera. They are pretty good and factual except for stuff happening in Qatar. Which is unfortunate but also expected.

I think if you read Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" book you'll get an answer to that question.
