Media conglomeration is, IMO, the most dangerous aspect of the 1996 Telecom act... Dennis Donovan Aug 2019 #7

I hate it but I must agree with you David. Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #8

We have seen this before... TreasonousBastard Aug 2019 #4

Precisely TreasonousBastard, but some would argue corporate ownership makes no difference Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #9

Yes, I've seen that argument before as well. Very recently, in fact. ehrnst Aug 2019 #19

Well at least you included the title of my post this time Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #20

Even more strawmen, in addition to the three fallacies from the original thread... ehrnst Aug 2019 #26

Your "fallacies," "strawmen," attempts at personalizing this and transparent evasion at answering Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #31

Quoting a FoxNews host to make your point. ehrnst Aug 2019 #18

No one is born a racist, they are shaped by their culture Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #21

Got a strawman? ehrnst Aug 2019 #24

So you believe FOX "News" hasn't worked to spread racism? Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #25

Yet another strawman. You find a sale? ehrnst Aug 2019 #27

So you agree that's not what the person you replied to said. ehrnst Aug 2019 #30

I agree that holding a debate with anyone unwilling to actually answer fundamental questions Uncle Joe Aug 2019 #32

And we have the fold, and push back from the table. ehrnst Aug 2019 #33
