In which a bunch of White guys who owned land, in a stunning moment of blind ignorance to their breath-taking hypocrisy, added the Virginia Bill of Rights to the Constitution.

Most of them owned slaves. One of them kept his wife chained in the cellar. Every swingin' dick amongst 'em firmly believed that children owed their parents obedience, and anything the parents did to coerce that obedience was A-OK.

But they, through their blindness to the world in which they lived, did the right thing.

Funny how that works, ain't it?

President Trump's pick to lead the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, was widely expected to make life more difficult for media organizations that weren't aligned with the commander in chief's agenda.

In his first week leading the powerful agency that oversees national communications, Carr has done just that, reviving complaints that alleged liberal media bias. Throughout the campaign, Trump railed against certain broadcasters, saying the FCC should yank their broadcast licenses.

ABC, NBC and CBS have all felt Trump's scorn.

On Wednesday, Carr revived complaints that had been filed against those three.

We need to defund the CBC or at least make the goal posts for them attainable markers for their work.

I don't think we do, it just doesn't job with what others feel they are so it's hard to grasp.
You seem to have a lot of "rights" that require government action to secure.

We have a few of those, too, but generally our rights require the government to keep its hands off.
