In other words, a Sanders supporter.

Is there much support in Britain for privatizing the BBC? I want Canada to privatize the CBC which is the mouthpiece of the Liberal Party of Canada.
			 
			
			
				I cannot speak for the UK...but I have not seen any move to privatise their national carrier. I doubt any serious move would succeed, as the Beeb has been deeply ingrained into British culture by not only its global news reach, but its mass media entertainment and sports coverage (Dr Who, Top Gear, Broadchurch, and many other serials).
In Australia, there is a huge wave of resentment directed at the Government broadcaster, the ABC, which is not only left, but is rapidly becoming FAR left in its content and editorial standards. People are resenting their tax dollars feeding leftist propaganda.

But, the ABC will never be privatized just like the CBC never will. That would require a conservative government with cajones. Neither country has such a party.
			 
			
			
				Not at the moment. 
With our so called "conservative" government, the ABC is safe.
For now.

We had one Conservative leadership candidate, Maxime Bernier who wanted to make the CBC stand on it's  own two feet, but he lost the CPC leadership. The $1.1 billion it receives per year in tax payer funding is safe indefinitely.
			 
			
			
				Same here. But it WILL happen one day.
			
			
			
				Not sure if it matters.
Commercial (non govt) MSM is in the tank for progs up past its eyeballs ... not just biased - rather true and full time "activists" for prog agenda
It's editors, reporters, heads, .. all levels of an entire industry in the tank

That is most definitely true cc. We know who mediamatters and TheTYEE's sugardaddies are. But, I still feel it's unethical that one media corporation receives taxpayer monies.

Too true  :laugh:
BTW. I'm not talking about those. They have always been in the tank for progs ... I'm saying CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, CTV, Sky, Channel 24, etc etc  are " in the tank for progs up past their  eyeballs ... 
not just biased - rather true and 
No way CBC, BBC, Aussies ABC etc. would be any better than the above were they to be "freed"
			 
			
			
				I don't care if they are in the tank for progtards. I value free speech.
I resent PAYING for it.
			
			
			
				good point ... although in the tank "outright activist" press is NOT free speech 
I'm only saying that freeing them will not change them
			
			
			
				No...but I'd love to see them attract a billion dollars PLUS of sponsorship money while spouting leftist propaganda. They will need to make cutbacks.
			
			
			
				Likely  true and another good point
It is catching up to them. I just saw the numbers for CNN - it is tanking dramatically ... The onetime cable leader of all  ... Not one show  made top 20 shows all last month
			
			
			
				That's the market talking, and that's what will hurt them most.
			
			
			
				It took a while - the combo of all of them got O elected ... almost got Hill elected .... but finally the rules of business are  coming into play
			
			
			
				Which is also the people talking...they aren't watching, they aren't listening.
CNN really has soiled its own nest with its leftist zeal against the duly elected President. They will feel the pain of their prejudice for decades.
			
			
			
				I think so .. I hope so
All of them deserve getting hurt bad
			
			
			
				How do they compare with FNC?
