| Message | Mr Marshal, The mere fact that something is not government owned doesn't make it independent and vice versa. We can have a high quality public station run by an independent commission as in many countries. Anna Podolski Razem Deputy Leader |

| Message | Public media always act in goverment favor. The government is currently an employer and journalists will be sympathetic to him hoping for bonuses. Even if the current government does not practice propaganda, in the future it may catch up with one who will use it. We can not tolerate something that is not safe for freedom of speech. And why people have to pay taxes on the media and what with those who do not want to watch them. |

| Message | Mr Marshall, Indeed, I have this feeling that our "public" media are already biased towards the ruling coalition - and I think that a lot of Valruzians can agree with me at this point. Celina Salko Reforma Party Leader |
