| Message | We are against this proposal as we vehemently are against government subsidization of the media. |
| Date | not recorded | From |  Liberal Democrats | To | Debating the Introduction of Government Networks |
| Message | Sounds good, however I happen to know the Dutch system in which there is a network subsidized by the government, but runned by the people. It's strange and I haven't seen it anywhere else, but it gives the people the opportunity to broadcast. But even in this current state I'm in favour. |
| Date | not recorded | From | To | Debating the Introduction of Government Networks |
| Message | It tends to work rather well. It's only a single station, so people still have a great deal of choice, but it provides a free forum and, if properly run, works extremely well. |
| Date | not recorded | From | To | Debating the Introduction of Government Networks |
| Message | You say all media should be private! Remember that this means that many people are highly influenced by the will of corporations, we need an non-profit counterpart to balance it out! |
| Date | not recorded | From | Libertarian Party of Valruzia | To | Debating the Introduction of Government Networks |
| Message | It is the people's choice whether to watch these stations and there is no reason for a governmental agency to be created. This is an unneccessary addition to a government bureaucracy. |

| Message | We support government subsidised media in this case. |

| Message | But it also serves to get information the corperate networks may wish to supress out into the open. The more networks, the better |
