| Message | The JCAP would like to see the government subsidise a media corp. which is itself a profit making venture? What then, pray, would be their incitement to remain entirely truthful, rather than simply market-chasing and filled to the brim with celebrity rubbish which blinds and confuses the public, like every other broadcasting network out there? At least if there is no profit incentive to deviate from the truth, then there is a greater chance the corp. will choose to avoid repercussions and keep to the straight and narrow. |
