Doing something through some government sanctioned activity or governing body. Trump just used the an executive branch to take over these boards and do his bidding like the Kennedy Center. We’ve given WAY too much power to our politicians IMHO.

While no system is perfect, some academic or truly public foundation would be a better “policing” entity in my opinion. Even if it’s handing out something like a razzie award or something like the “Kim Jong Un Dear Leader Excellence In Propaganda Award” to publicly shame journalists and network organizations.
