Antonin Scalia opposed public broadcasting because he feared the "significant social consequences" of "the development of a government-funded broadcast system similar to the BBC.”; In other words, Scalia saw the equivalent of a public broadcasting system that produced and aired award-winning dramas, Monty Python, "Keeping Up Appearances," top-quality news programs, and live studio performances of bands now celebrated as "classic rock" as a threat to liberty.
