      My argument is that anything the government grants you can also be taken away… and if the counter is “But it can be restored too…”

      Yeah, still waiting on the Fairness Doctrine, which, yeah, also has a direct impact on journalism.

        it’s easy to win your own arguments when you put words in my mouth. why even bother pretending to have a debate when all you want is to put on a performance?

        you can wallow in defeatist nihilism. I have better things to do.
