We have the state AGs.
Mark's fellow actors, some of my people like Jim Acosta and Katie Fang that I have worked with and do work with in journalism, and 5,000 others from every part of the entertainment and news industry, right down to the grips and makeup artists and caterers who make that industry work to say, hell no!
Ellison's, you screwed up CBS.
Do we want that for CNN?
No, we do not want to be turning the TV and you turn from Fox News to CNN to CBS.

No, we don't want that.

Yeah, the fighters who stand up
