The Politics/Religion/Conspiracies Deathmatch Thread

[The Dunster]

While ever the govt funds it's own media entity I've got no problem if they subsidise others.

But it's not the governments media entitity - it belongs to the people. The governments only role should be to provide adequate funding so programs can be broadcast equitably to anyone that wants to watch them.
The government could have provided the cash injection to BarTV or a TAFE or a University to broadcast these sports. That would have been more equitable and it would also have been of benefit to students or even the unemployed.

The problem with the public broadcasters now - is that they are effectively run by the same neo-liberal scum running the private sector organisations.

When ever I hear people calling the ABC or SBS left wing I can't stop laughing - it's not even close to being left wing in any sense of the term.
