Well, Megan, I think you are articulating the views and the sentiment and certainly the emotions of most Trump voters who have zero patience for the sort of constitutional regulatory arguments that Ted Cruz was articulating.

And for those of us like Emily and I, I think, who say we wish Brendan Carr hadn't gotten involved.

It's not good for the government to do these sorts of things.

They would say, just as you have, that

This stuff has already happened, and it's happened to folks on the right, and so here's a taste of your own medicine.

I, for one, am skeptical that giving them a taste of their own medicine will return things to normal, but I'm certainly sympathetic to your view.

Well, just quickly on that, I actually think ABC would have taken Kimmel or I'm sorry, Disney would have taken Kimmel off of the air without what Brendan Carr said.

I think they were probably going to do it anyway because Sinclair and Nextar were under significant pressure and the tensions were so high.

And my position, honestly, you can make a good case for that.

Yeah, my personal honestly is we don't need to have the public interest standard for broadcasting licenses anymore.

I think people disagree with that, but I just think everything has been so democratized and fractured that it's not the 1960s.

We really don't need to have that.

But overall, I like the sentiments here just to think about the Hunter Biden laptop.

There are a lot of disingenuous arguments being made on the left from people who are openly being dishonest, but also people who are completely ignorant because they didn't follow these stories during the Biden administration.

Sean Davis at The Federalist reported years ago that actually a CIA email address was being used in the process of collecting those signatories for the 51 former intelligence agents who came out and said the Hunter Biden laptop had all of the hallmarks of Russian disinformation, knowing full well that it would lead to suppression

of the story of a piece of legitimate journalism within the spirit of the First Amendment, which is insane a month before a presidential election.

So what you have there is an example actually of government being involved in the process.

Is it apples to apples?

No, nothing's apples to apples.

Wanna know why?
