It seems to me the obvious next step.
I mean if other jobs requirements like IT and even accounting had started asking for more certifications and experience to work, then why the heck shouldn’t presidents get asked to be more qualified for their jobs?
Someone on lemmy said that media should be the 4th pillar of democracy. I agree. It should be enshrined in the constitution and be funded and run as an institution that’s independent of the government.
Basically the government should fund it, but shouldn’t be allowed to control it at all.
