Do you consider PBS to be run by the government? I'm talking about subsidies, not explicit control. EDIT: Okay so apparently PBS only receives 15% of its funding from the government. I'll have to reconsider this solution. It still feels like global information systems should be immune from this kind of "pay-for-eyeballs" influence. In a perfect world, perhaps. Also: libraries are funded by taxpayer money, but do we consider that a bad thing?
