| Message | Senor Presidente, We support subsidies for non-profit media, because it is a good way of increasing the availability of high quality news, documentaries and cultural programs which might not otherwise find commercial backing. We warn, however, that public funds should be used responsibly, and should not under any circumstances be squandered away on pornography, smut, swearing, violence and other filth.
