I'm on a boat all day and **this** is the shit I come back to?

If only there was some sort of judicial body that could interpret the Constitution and decide how it applies to specific situations as time passes.

Alice blocks people who politely tell her that this is a bad take.

I don't trust Iran. But I also wouldn't believe Trump if he told me that he just saw the sun rise in the east.

Why are so many people so enamored by a fat slob of a child raping moron?

What the what now?

"You should not have to have a license to drive a car, as long as no other cars are on the road."

Vance dismisses Watergate scandal, says ‘deep state’ went after Nixon - The Washington Post. Vance seems remarkably ignorant of history. Republicans ended Nixon’s presidency and they have never before been called the “deep state.”

6600 broadcasts a week on 1300 stations. "It's just the fringe". Dunce.

I fact checked this. It's true.

They got me....it is indeed Chris Ripley who runs this account. 😂

I knew all about the Fairness Doctrine--my mostly incorrect statement was totally intentional.

Guys, you just have to read the Fairness Doctrine, like this guy did, to know that it was all about ownership.

Amazing the amount of strength people thought the FD had when in reality--it had very little.

Don't bother to educate this one--she turned off replies. However....this is a really bad take.

"Lawsuits for false reporting" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yes, Fox would be very against the return of a weak policy that never could apply to them. Well thought out commentary here.

"Are you serious" = "Oops, I got in over my head here and this person probably knows way more than I do!"

She should have complied!! The driver feared for his life! She was inciting violence! Am I doing it right, MAGAts? (Yes, the 1st line was 100% sarcasm)

a2run has DEFINITELY read the text of the policy. No doubt about it.

Yup.

Ajay has been schooled numerous times about how the Fairness Doctrine actually worked. Ajay doesn't care, and proves it by blowing off PinkTweets' explanation Tell me again how "if FoxNews had to air the truth, there would be no MAGA" is a realistic take when the nation is full of ppl like this.

Yes, because defining a lie is exactly the same as demonstrating a tangible loss.

This again.

Um.....no.

Anyone who tells you that the Fairness Doctrine could have prevented Fox News is at best uneducated, and is spreading the exact kind of imbecilic nonsense they accuse Fox News of perpetrating.

When Australians form strong opinions on American policies they know nothing about.

"Look it up" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah, I was so rude to "Yulipip" that I deserved to be blocked all right.

Careful guys--this one's been a "TV critic for 25 years". He knows his stuff! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The US government (Congress) has the power to regulate interstate commerce. There are anti-trust laws already on the books. It's hopeless with this administration but once we get people into government who don't loathe Americans (and MAGA loathes Americans), they should go fully utilize this power.

You guys...I learned today that the 1st Amendment has never saved anyone from jail and only exists to protect NAMBLA. It also hasn't saved ABC, who I guess are now off the air, the way that this guy is acting. I now believe government should have full power to regulate media. 1A has failed.

Cabo Verde defeats Spain 0-0

"Allowing FoxNews to exist is Fascism" No...a government that bans media outlets from existing due to disliking that output's viewpoints is a far greater example of fascism. Also: Fox gets way too much credit. They get around 3-5M viewers a day. 155-160M vote in Presidential elections.

Quality goalpost moving.

Come on, storms!

In general the people blaming the end of the Fairness Doctrine for Republicans winning elections somehow always find a way to ignore it came after three 40+ state Republican landslides and shortly before another.

I've heard/read worse. But even this podcast frames the FD as being about truth in media and not viewpoint diversity, so it's fatally flawed from the start (even before they mention that it mandated equal time for viewpoints, which it 100% did not) omny.fm/shows/stuff-...

Big brain here thinks media regulation of content would work out well.

Hi, the reflecting pool already has algae in it. Best renovation ever.

There's only one thing left on which I'm excited to see Trump's name......

Uh oh--someone doesn't like being corrected!

Oh Jerry.....

No, it's definitely bringing back the Fairness Doctrine. I have been told we wouldn't have propaganda media and polarization had it not been ended. Seriously: ask @jpeter1son.bsky.social about it. He's an expert!

Yogi made a boo-boo.

Maybe not for much longer tho'
