Political TV audience drop serves as warning

We were promised a post-mortem by the PN after the electoral defeat, but up to now we are still hearing our Prime Minister citing the quality of life we’re living. Isn’t the audience drop in NET TV another warning that the people are fed up of being taken for a ride, as they watch the news on NET?
The two political parties still want to feed us loads of cheap propaganda. But gone are the days when we get screwed while listening to our political TV station.
The increase in viewership on PBS, maybe not because there is any quality, is simply due to the fact that people are fed up listening all year round to political TV stations.
PBS is still feeding us gaxin when it comes to local programming. Peppi is still on his golden Xarabank, and Larry King (excuse me Lou Bondì) is still on his throne. The public is still pumping thousands of euros, and cannot see international shows/football like we used to watch on our national channel. To watch these they have to pay a private provider.
This is the quality of life that people are witnessing. How much longer are we going to hear what Peppi has in store for us. I’m sick at hearing about surveys. How much more professional would it be to have the Broadcasting Authority survey the quality of these programmes? We deserve better quality, no matter the number of people watching a programme.
