MessageThe state OWNS media, that doesn't mean that the state controls what's broadcasted.

MessageIf it doesn't control what's broadcast, it should have no objection to opening up abit. Also, this will add competition, which will mean better programs, as TV stations and radio stations compete against each other more vigourously.

MessageWe are against a privitised media for various reasons, one of the most prominent examples are media barons. There IS competition under the current system, anyone can start a newspaper with governmnet funding. However the proposed law will allow rich oliogarchs with vested interests to buy into our media. Darnussia needs no ruppert murdoch.

MessageBut it will also lead to modern television, and proper compeititon. Making it mandatory for all radio/TV stations to have government influence is not only dangerous, it is against the values of freedom.

MessageThere is no government influence! This is merely keeping the control of the organs of democracy out of the hands of multinationals!
