A bad idea is a bad idea.
Meanwhile, the post you're responding to mentioned the BBC, and your calling the UK "commies."
No more than citing North Korea's single private industry has me calling North Koreans Capitolists.
Here in Canada, we have the CBC, which is costing me 6 pennies a day (that's 4 American pennies). I think it's money very well spent...
I probably wouldn't. How are your prisons?
I can clearly listen to Radio Canada International on shortwave pretty much anywhere in the world (BBC radio does this too). We can watch and listen to Enlish and French programming anywhere in Canada.
A feat that couldn't possibly have been accomplisted privately.
At this point certain people are thinking that the government is using this to brainwash us and keep us complacent.
Not I. Would it even be an issue if...never mind.
You'll see more criticism of the government on CBC than on any other channel.
Public funds cause government critisizm. Neat.
Then there's the other government funded content like the NFB, and the tax credits for Canadian shows. For a recent American-known example of a show that was helped by this: The Tom Green Show.
The US has a commercial version of this show, "Home Improvement". It's often cited as a sign of the collapse of our Capitolist system.
What I'm really liking lately is "Made in Canada." "Here's the vice president of communications, and the vice president of...," bunch of different VPs are introduced, "...and the vice president of vice presidential affairs." I laughed my ass off.
Hmm. Good gag.
