There’s a shit ton to hate on Reagan for, that isn’t one. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Of all of Reagan's many, many misdeeds, repealing the Fairness Doctrine may well be the most destructive and egregious.

It truly is a shame there's no Hell in which he could burn.

We have the first result of any of the 190+ races on my cheat sheet, and it's from Florida.

The only Republican on Orlando's city council has lost his reelection bid: Jim Gray was defeated by Democrat Tom Keen.

Oh look: the new CBS News boss -who was hired to keep Trump happy- was in the room for the interview because of course she was.

The White House has posted a photo that shows Bari Weiss was in the room for the 60 Minutes interview of Donald Trump.

Weiss is obscured, but she's just to the right of Norah O'Donnell.

Trump said, “You don’t have to put this on, because I don’t want to embarrass you, and I’m sure you’re not — you have a great — I think you have a great, new leader, frankly, who’s the young woman that’s leading your whole enterprise is a great — from what I know. I don’t know her, but I hear she’s a great person.”

Got off the runway and crashed just outside the airport. Looks like they had an engine failure at a point where they couldn’t stop and didn’t have the power to take off completely, it just skimmed into the buildings nearby

One man who's been in the United States here for 20 years, and whose wife and kids live here, even says he was physically threatened into signing his own deportation, with the ICE officer threatening to physically hurt him if he didn't sign the paper, or even grab his hands and "sign" for him.

15. Another male staff member told me that I had no right to be here, or words to that effect. He told me that I had to sign the paperwork. I did not know what the paperwork was, but the staff member told me I had to sign for voluntary deportation. The staff member did not translate the document for me. I did not understand it because I do not read English. 16. The man said he would press on my head with his hands, which had rings on them, if I did not sign. I saw the man press on other individuals' heads when they refused to sign the paperwork, while another staff member grabbed their hands to force them to sign the paper. I felt as if I had no choice but to sign the paperwork.
17. I have been in the country for twenty years and my wife and children are here, so I wanted to fight for my rights. But I was given no choice but to sign, so with tears in my eyes, I signed the paperwork.

So either the president of the United States is lying to the public, or DOJ attorneys are lying to the judge. Neither of these things are good.

That policy never required equal time. It never regulated news. (Or networks). You could not cite even one station still not meeting the old requirements today voluntarily.

But go ahead. Try. See if you can successfully mansplain my own fucking industry to me. I’m sure it will work out for you. 🤦🏻‍♀️
