| Message | We obviously oppose this bill; we believe that the government should have a presence in radio/television media. Same goes for Article 2 because we do not support giving false information to our citizens; as politicians, we have an obligation to be truthful to them. |

| Message | We'd honestly prefer that the government run all media so that we could inspire patriotism and encourage action against the filthy Communists that plague Baltusia. But if media must be private, then we'd prefer it generating income and stimulating the economy. |

| Random quote: "Colonialism or imperialism, as the slave system of the West is called, is not something that is just confined to England or France or the United States. The interests in this country are in cahoots with the interests in France and the interests in Britain. It's one huge complex or combine, and it creates what's known not as the American power structure or the French power structure, but an international power structure. This international power structure is used to suppress the masses of dark-skinned people all over the world and exploit them of their natural resources." Malcolm X |
