NPR & BBC are probably the closest we've got so far - they're both state funded, but editorially independent (theoretically). There's still some influence from the government, but it works pretty well.

Edit: public-funded news outlets definitely work best when they're part of a larger system including other models of governance (like independent non-profits) as well.

Given the entire governance structure of the BBC and many of the senior managers have been stacked with Tory cronies over the last decade I don't think that's still true.
