| Message | Beniamino Massa, Leader of AI "We believe, one TV station should be uninfluenced by private interest, and should provide information and education, as it would be funded publicly. However we understand your concerns, of biased govt. media, which would always combat the opposition. It says specifically 'a' station, as in 1, so not such a big problem. However If you still oppose this bill, we shall remove these articles as government influence would indeed be severe. Video games and nudity need this regulation to prevent the young generation from receiving bad influences, which strictly opposes our values." |
