Right. And by limiting your service based on a target demographic is propaganda. Media corporations don't care at all about the message as long as they make a profit. They don't actually have a responsibility to the public that is not synonymous with their own economic benefit.

So, perhaps you could explain to me how broadcasting to the majority of people constitutes propaganda??????? Or to a "target demograpghic"??
