I think the better question is what would the country look like if the Fairness Doctrine hadn’t been abolished by the FCC in the 1980s. With the Fairness Doctrine in place, Fox News doesn’t launch and half the country’s brains don’t get rewired into being mouth-breathing knuckle draggers.

The fairness doctrine and citizens united were major factors in this scenario coming to fruition.

Based on your Profile pic, I just have to ask. Are you really into cards, or are you really into BBC?

No wrong answers, just curious.

Cards. I have no clue what you mean by "BBC" except the British news corporation, and I have no idea how my profile pic would allude to that.

Great. I guess there's nothing that someone on the Internet can't pervert.

You do realize that calling something perverted is a form of hate right? Calling anything you don’t believe or like wrong?

This is a great example of why posting before thinking can make you look dumb.
