One thing I can say you're consistent.

I have mixed feelings on that one. It'd be nice to see Fox News go under, Clear Channel, and the like. It's hard for me to swallow the idea of them needing to exist. I'd rather the markets or the people oust them through disinterest as opposed to the government, though. In that vein let them run their propaganda endlessly for all I care.
