[Rhodes22-list] Public Radio and TV

[ed kroposki]

Saroj:
	Unfortunately your public radio and TV often promotes a control the
masses point of view.  Communism and socialism are political positions used
to control individuals.  Big business is corporate control of the
individual.  Public radio promotes the same thesis of controlling the
individual.  
	Individual freedom whether political, educational, business is
distained by your public media. Public Radio or TV promotes only the view
which represent their biased point of view.
	Has radio reader ever read Natan Saransky's book on Democracy?  Have
they promoted writers who espouse individual freedoms?  
	They advocate just another form of bigness...

Addendum:  "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master.  This
expresses my idea of democracy.  Whatever differ from this, to the extent of
difference, is no democracy."  A. Lincoln

So we can have a source of news that isn't massaged to meet the demands of 
the corporate advertisers....
So we aren't bombarded by commercials...
So we can listen to the BBC...
So we can experience innovation that isn't dependent on commercially 
dictated norms...

It is mostly subscriber-supported and grant supported anyhow... but you'll 
notice more and more that it receives a lot of commercial support too so it 
may not be able to maintain its independence.
