Undoubtedly for a Broadcast Network to get a Public License from the Fed,

They don't.

there must be qualification criteria. What are those criteria?

---

The station owners have licenses. And "broadcast content satisfactory to the president" isn't one of the criteria.

---

I remember the Left challenging Radio with some “fairness doctrine “ to essentially go after Rush Limbaugh but that must have flopped.

---

The fairness doctrine was gone before Rush's show ever took off. In fact, repeal of it, is what got Westwood to pick it up and syndicate it.

recasting Christmas as a marker of Christian civilization

Who wants to tell them?

The point is a TEAM is no longer required.

False. The limiter in creating good software isn't the typing speed of developers. The limiter is figuting out *what* and *how* to build.

Almost always the peopel most confident about AI, are people that don't actually use it. :lol:

Yet he can’t because to do so inevitably complicates the ongoing justification for the United States’ massive global military footprint. If Russia and China are prohibited from operating within the Western Hemisphere, what rationale supports the United States’s continued military presence in the Black Sea or the South China Sea?

So instead we are fed this War On Drugs® bullsh*+. And the know-nothing contingent here gobbles it up like candy.

It's only a matter of time until MAGA unites with the Bill Kristol contingent of the GOPE. And it's going to be hilarious to watch the mental gymnastics the TWS crowd has reconciling that. :lol:

No kidding. This is going to be turned against conservative Christians someday. We already have seen it manifest itself in this nation.

Well, yah, but that's different. :lol:

It’s a bold statement from Taibbi to call this the worst reported story ever, but I think it takes the cake.
