| Message | The privatisation of the independent media means that independent public service media, that serves the people and that is and independent examiner of the government, cooperations and companies, is now longer there. All private television stations is, no matter if they claim to be independent, are funded by people or by cooperations that have a certain angle and that is not matter what, dependent on that money being delivered, which means they are not in fact independent and objective. Only an independent public service organisation, funded by the government, and ruled by independent and neutral people with no political bias. We therefore vote against the bill. We would however by open to allowing a public service organisation beside private organisations that exist and serve different purposes. |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
