Hello,

and thanks -- but some objection to it: A greek emigrant told me
yesterday about ERT's role in the public media sector as substantially
problematic while showing administration policies. But there might be a
chance for a takeover (equipment, skills, women/man-power).

Philosphically speaking, a void in the net offers new boundaries and
options for a re-public(ation) of the public (not just audiences)
instead of abstract free press announcements -- with utmost respect.

And due to practical reasons for amplifying the social crisis (which
follows the economical one) I would plead for a shutdown of state media
against the troika (EC, ECB and IMF).
But true the 'new' lean and slimmed ERT stops any chance for the void at
all.

Kind regards

Matze Schmidt
