Naturally we have broadcasters like this because they provide a national service-it's vital that we have news agencies that aren't just swayed by trashy drama or ratings wars. We need a quality, public service broadcaster-however I believe that can still go hand in hand with selling it to another company. I'd want certain safeguards put in place before any sell however
Indeed, we should have an auction (as Ted Bessell put it) and reserve the right to deny sale to entities that we believe would advance skewed perspectives.
