  1. I agree with the voluntary donations being able to cover most of their expenses.

    Just curious as to your thoughts on American Forces Radio and Armed Forces Radio? In this day an age, we certainly don't need help with the technology to get radio service to our most deserving military.

  3. CORRECTAMUNDO! The 4th Estate is (well, used to be :( ) very important in reporting the facts and keeping the government honest. When the Government gives money to media, the news "somehow" takes on a Leftist slant.

  4. I don't think taxpayer dollars should be subsidizing the news/broadcasting industry, BUUUUT, if it's OK to subsidize and give corporate welfare to the banks and other corporations, all on the backs of the taxpayer, then it's a free meal ticket for all.

  8. You mean the bailouts that the banks paid back with interest that they needed because politicians pushed home ownership and millions of sheeple defaulting on their mortgages because they were greedy and bought more house than they could afford and used their houses as ATMs? How are loans repaid with interest welfare? What's welfare is 99 weeks of unemployment benefits that's not paid back.

  10. If it weren't for the best thing on television Frontline imagine what further shenanigans corporations would get away with.
    Look no further, they'd like to remove all scrutiny. That is unless you ....like pollution.
