That's why I call them the Propaganda Ministry. But they still need to pay their employees, taxes, utilities, etc. They need money. If people don't watch, the amount they can charge for advertising goes down. They can try to spin off to a subscription-based system (remember CNN+?) but that's not working out well for them. I suppose that the rich Elitists can fund them, but that will only work for so long. Even those people can't afford to lose a million a month.

So what a musician says about something non-music-related is pretty much irrelevant. But I get what you say. Too many people think that an expert in area 1 automatically means that he's an expert in area 2. How else can a linguist be hailed as a foreign policy expert?
