Isn’t internet even worse though?

Unrelated question, do you have to pay that tax for using radio or internet too? Or telly only? I know Germany let’s you pay for all 3. So you won’t have to pay only if you’re a recluse or too poor.

Ireland it covers television and radio. However, if you have any device that can access RTÉ media, then you have to pay the licence. So if you own a laptop, a large iPad, a radio or a PC, you have to pay €160 a year.

And yes, the internet can be worse than the state media, but at least with the internet you can look for what you want, whereas the state media is just government propaganda.
