I just want to be sure that any news reporting that takes place is untainted by certain media moguls beliefs and agenda.

Public broadcasting has a vital function to play in making sure that in times of crisis there are no conflicts of interest in the news and information that we receive.

Frankly thinking of some of the innotative comedy of the last 60 odd years I very much doubt if the likes of Monty Python,The League of Gentlemen,Black Adder, Red Dwarf or The Kumars would have even been considered by commercial TV.
