Are you suggesting the effete snobs who typically support "public" radio and "public" television would deliberately sabotage the profit-motivated, tax-paying, economy-boosting competition? And help destroy music and the arts in the process?
Horrors!
Horrors, indeed.
Apologists for state action in these matters are guilty, imo, of what I call malicious ignorance.
Self-imposed ignorance is a cousin of dumb insolence, and deserves a slap, if not a boot. ;^)
