Maybe you can explain why the left feels they need the rules chnaged/fixed for them?
Interesting. May I ask why the right feels the need to block opposing viewpoints?

That woman is one of the funniest people I know and she can throw her sexual bent at me and I think she is still funny. I think she delivers jokes in her dry manner better than about anybody I know. Degeneres may be degenerate but she is still funny and one of my favorite people.

Well, I don't consider her degenerate but I agree, she's hilarious. Have you ever seen her sitcom Ellen? Very funny, I'm now on season 4 renting from netflix. Her stand up is also really good, lots of oneliners.

That's all conjecture. It's all based on "what ifs".

I agree with you on that.

As I mentioned, no one has introduced the legislation. No one is proposing changing the rules. There's nothing to explain.

Right, I'm not really sure where that suspicion comes from.

Lets put it this way, the fairness doctorine can be equating to forcing all grocery stores to have an equal amount of shelf space for Coke as well as Pepsi, regardless of which one sells more. If a store sells 70% coke to 30% Pepsi..why would they want to sacrifice Coke sales to make sure there is more Pepsi that people didnt buy in the first place?

Well that is a compelling argument. However, no one is telling anyone to cut back on their inventory. Simply to offer another option. As a consumer, I like the fact that I would have more than one choice.
