There's been a lot of conflicting chatter off and on today, but it seems like Robert Mugabe could finally be losing power in Zimbabwe

LOL @ "Bernie Bernstein".

Wow -- a few hours ago the coup was reportedly failing and some Army general arrested.

One thing they might want to focus on is a long-term strategy to handle Breitbarts and Sinclair Broadcastings and that type. A new Fairness Doctrine or something. It would be criminal to allow any more of the broadcast spectrum in the hands of Sinclair. The broadcast spectrum is a public good.

Yup. That'll fix it. It worked fine for Comrade Stalin, Comrade Mao, and Comrade Castro.

When you can't win using reason, controlled propaganda is the way to go.

Well as you know, the Fairness Doctrine existed for almost the entire Cold War period. You're more results oriented than process oriented, right?

I thought you progs would be agog about real evidence that came out today regarding Roy Moore. He specifically said he never heard of a particular woman who was accusing him. She produced her yearbook and Moore had signed it and actually put D.A. after his name. I have more respect for a thief than for a hypocrite.

The FOX10 News/Strategy Research statewide poll of 3,000 likely voters, taken on November 13, shows Moore leading Jones 49% to 43% with 8% undecided

Yes, that is true. Until Reagan did away with it against his entire cabinet's advice. A few years later, the Soviet Union collapsed, as did its communist satellites in Eastern Europe. I'm results oriented, as you know, and the results from doing away with it were pretty good from my perspective. I understand you don't like that outcome, which is your right. "We win, they lose." was the Reagan Doctrine

However, it is utterly irrelevant to what you were proposing, which you called "a new Fairness Doctrine or something".

What you said was One thing they might want to focus on is a long-term strategy to handle Breitbarts and Sinclair Broadcastings and that type. A new Fairness Doctrine or something. It would be criminal to allow any more of the broadcast spectrum in the hands of Sinclair. The broadcast spectrum is a public good.

I've heard figures from 3-5% of the total package of media in the US is what one would call primarily conservative. For example, Fox News splits 52-48% liberal. Your desire to stamp out or censor the tiny fraction of media that you disagree with is evidence that progressives/socialists cannot stand in the light of day and rationally make their own case. And that is because my side of the argument will always point to history and say, "What you propose has been tried repeatedly throughout history and has never succeeded."

Exactly what you propose has been tried in Venezuela, a country of vast oil reserves. What do you see there? I see the inevitable result of taking from the producers and giving to the non-producers in exchange for the non-producer vote.

She brought the book with her to the press conference, before he made his statement, however he wasn't DA at the time, in 1977. Deputy District Attorney. She also said she voted for Trump, however she has an "inactive" voter registration status.
