The madman! Twitter implements "Ukraine state-affiliated media" tag. Outstanding. It’s fucking baffling to me that NPR and BBC somehow avoid the state-affiliated media tag. We should be putting it on NYT and CNN and shit like that too, but NPR and BBC are literally state sponsored media.

Are you retarded? They get money from license fees at the threat of imprisonment from the government.

Sometimes jet199 is not just retarded, but so ridiculously retarded it's laughable.

Yeah, you steal things then you can go to prison. It's a thing. Are supermarkets funded by the government because you can't walk out without paying without getting arrested?

You can't just opt of bbc services and keep the rest you potato. It's a TV license, not a bbc license.

If I just wanted to watch sky news, legally I have to pay them anyway.

Using your analogy I'd have to buy bread to get the milk, or I'm stealing the milk.

The only workaround is streaming, but a lot of the country is on shit tier internet.
