| Date | 22:40:28, February 04, 2006 CET | From | Shuggoth Progressive Party | To | Debating the Luthori Broadcasting Corporation Act |
| Message | The SPP is very much in favor of small government. We are not, however, in favor of corporations controlling ALL of the media. There needs to be an objective source of news for the citizens not tainted by the secret motivations of businesses. We are giving business a tremendous amount of leeway to run things their way; some checks and balances must be in place to prevent them from abusing the system. |
| Date | 18:06:26, February 05, 2006 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Luthori Broadcasting Corporation Act |
| Message | It's against our creed to support a state agency which will impose the governement's ideology upon our people. It's better to leave the creation and subsiding of the media to the community. |
