That is treason and a TV station in America would never get a renewed contract if they did that against Bush or any other president.
It is suppose to do that and will do that for a while but once it starts building up steam it starts causing all the problems. Monopolies and imperialism are not the freedom that everyone wants, but only to the ones in power.

Everyone serves someone in any organization. Call it what you want, dress it up as you like. Someone is going to be in charge and making the rules. I prefer our current system. I can use some improvements, certainly, but it beats all the others out there hands down.
BTW, I bet any TV station in the US could pretty much say anything they wanted against Bush and their ratings would more likely than not go up. The US Government has never, to limited understanding, shut down a previous licensed TV or Radio Station. They have been fined, but not shut down because of something they broadcast. Hell, think of War of the Worlds, they didn't even shut them down after all the chaos they caused.
