<The BBC's Governors ensure instead that it is run in the general public interest.

And who, I wonder, gets to decide exactly what "the public interest" is?

Leftists are just cheesed that most people selected Fox News over CNN and MSNBC, never mind the BBC. This tendency for people to choose what they want as opposed to what the Left knows is best for them constantly frustrates the movement in America. SUVs over electric cars, for example.

In America, I watch what interests me, not what someone else decides ought to interest me. The Left in this country, all the way back to Newton Minow, would LOVE for the media to be controlled by the state using the hammerlock of licensing.

The vast new bandwidth and new technologies for moving information have made the government airwave monopoly almost irrelevant, thank God.
