Well, we would have the content we own. We would pay to lease the content we don't. If any non US residents want a media.gov account, they can pay for one out of pocket what Americans pay in taxes.

Problem solved.

It increases your rights as a consumer because it consolidates the location and entity at/to which you pay for that content. You get all the content in one place as opposed to via 12 different accounts.

I can only imagine the delicious conversations about what objectionable art other people are enjoying that 'their' tax dollars paid for. Sure, let's do it.

And when the GOP holds enough power again we could finally have real US branded State TV! The Trump News Network will live, lol
