Gratuitously dismissing a rebuttal as “word salad” seeks to undermine the author rather than engage with the argument. Anyway, the legacy of the Fairness Doctrine is often misunderstood. As you know, it required broadcasters to present contrasting viewpoints on controversial issues. Its repeal in 1987 removed a regulatory barrier to opinion-driven broadcasting and helped create conditions ripe for the phenomenal ascent of American conservative media since then: e.g. Rush Limbaugh became nationally syndicated in 1988, while Fox News transformed the television news landscape after its launch in 1996. I respect the point you are making (and understand why you are making it). But if anything, the post-Fairness Doctrine era is the story of the remarkable rise of right-wing opinion outlets and an increasingly polarized news ecosystem, not proof of an idée fixe that U.S. broadcast media remains overwhelmingly left-wing. (And this is before the online environment is even considered in the conversation). Reasonable people with differing viewpoints can agree to disagree on this topic, so perhaps that’s where we might leave things here.

Most dangerous voting system in the world. Your first round vote is a gamble.

They are not left. They are simply mainstream. They investigate power which tends to annoy the right.

When is the last time you watched American television news?

Sure, but the reason we "need" to use it is because its owner and chief user has enormous dominating power (if not monopoly) in spreading his dubious political interpretations (and calls for rioting in other people's countries?) - cutting right across the power and government of our otherwise free democracies? We need to see and understand the corrupting influence of that power?

Can you give evidence of where it helped promote those riots please?

Love the quote tweet

He's certainly made a difference to my life. Before he took over Twitter, I was having my account locked for posting UK government statistics that made uncomfortable reading for them. That doesn't happen any more.

I don't think English is his first language, Andrew.

It is not the argument that is 'least convinced'. The argument may be the least convincing you have heard. Grammar and syntax are rather important for credibility.

Obvs he can stop his subscription but whey should he get his money back? Just stop buying it. I like it but if I didn't I'd just stop buying it. This person is a moron.

The Mail has won the "National Newspaper of the Year" award more times than any other paper. The Mail isn't perfect, but it covers some important stories like the case of Peter Sullivan, wrongly jailed. Many of the Liberals who despise the Mail probably never read it anyway.

I have hated that publication for years. The Daily Mail has republished my work numerous times without citation. Most publications don’t do that. They will at least indicate where they pulled something. Have a nice day.

Hinsight for these short-sighted political activists in Scotland, is the greatest trader on earth!

Thank you for clarification. So agree that the mechanics of spending is as MMT describes. Strange to use the word ‘nut job’ then. The MMT claim is that the binding constraint to spending is real resources and inflation, not the institutional mechanics. Bonds issuance is >
