At New York Comic con, got Martin Sheen’s autograph 😊

Jennings: He does not have a right to have a TV show where he lies his ass off to the American people and attacks half this country on a nightly basis Phillip: There are plenty of people over on another network who lied about the last election, who denigrate half the country every single night.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

On one hand, Paramount says it needs to be financially disciplined, and thus must cut people like Stephen Colbert. On the other hand, it goes out and spends an absurd amount of money to buy Bari Weiss' The Free Press. Watch the full episode of Power Lines here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcjW...
