Can independent agencies be independent and act in such manner? Sure. Does that mean they act independently in all manner all the time? I’m pretty skeptical. Looks like others have agreed that conflicts of interest exist and I’d agree. I don’t think anything is hard or fast. I also don’t think there is any getting around the funding model or fixing anything, I’m just saying it seems likely to me that based on being funded by the government they are likely to produce more favourable news than not for the group that funds them.
