Sometimes I think libertarians take things too far. You know the quote about being able to hold two opposing thoughts in your mind at the same time.. Well, take the BBC / CBC / NPR for example. I can both disagree with the idea that government funds news and entertainment, and at the same time state that those sources are the most factual and do the best job reporting the news objectively. And for the record, my NPR station is almost 90% supported by private money. When you take into account all the political favors Clear Channel and Big Media get, I'm betting they are more "government subsidized" than NPR is.
And what about these BBC films people are always posting here? I've seen the one on Stupidity and the 3 part expose on Al Quaeda--but the BBC is shit right?
