There are satellites watching various important events all over the world right now. Satellites that we the public have no access to.

So instead of seeing the events for ourselves we get news from various totally untrustworthy and manipulative news things.

If we could access the satellites then we could see for ourselves, or at least seriously fact check the news things.

I think this would make things better, how about you?

    No, the biggest satellite networks are privately owned. The best aren’t obviously because that stuff is all classified but there’s more privately owned satellites monitoring the planet these days. There’s more going up regularly too, it’s a growing industry.
