There are some things that I firmly believe the private sector should never control, and that should always be in the complete control of the public government. For example, police departments and fire departments. I might argue health care as well, but we've got a ways go to on convincing that still.

That being said, there are a couple of things that government should never control, and should always remain in private hands. One being religion, and the other being the media.

Because when you think government controlled media, what you get is RT.
