| Message | I believe while a national radio station for educational and informational purposes may be well intended this to me spells out no more than indocteration, an unfair advantage for advertisement in elections for ruling party. Keep the media impartial completely |

| Message | Privatisation of media does not improve competition, we are not talking about common household products. However with the new media reform, there is already a competition between the state-supported media channels that have the artistic and cultural liberty with the commercial channels. The latter focuses heavely on reality shows and sensation oriënted news. For the quality of the media and the sanity of our children, the NCP votes against this regressionist bill. |

| Message | The social democrats stand with the NCP. |

| Message | Reaction to the indoctorination argument. All civil servants have to swear political independence, the same goes for the employees of the state media, which are civil servants since they work for the gov. The state media get funded, but it does not have any government filter or gateway for the content. |
