So...For a bit of context on the video and the article:

- The documentary is from the RTS. The RTS is the main publicly owned media from Switzerland. They are not the typical European owned public media: They are generally pretty well funded (contrary to most). They also tend to generate good (high) quality content, tend to be independent and rather neutral (leaning slightly to the left politically speaking).

- The video is in French because, in Switzerland, the media are divided in three group associated to the regional languages: RTS for the French, SSR for the German and RSI for the Italian. Thats why you do get German translation.

- They are generally pretty cooperative and open minded. If one of you want to submit english subtitles. Just contact them, they might accept it (I do not promise anything).

Sorry, but you seem to be implying that European public owned media outlets are not normally to be trusted. Why?

I started out writing a list of European countries with high quality public broadcasters, but the comment started looking silly since the list quickly grew very long.
