Be nice if media companies could hang together against the FCC chairman, or they hang separately.

I haven't checked recently but the major shareholders for CNN and MSNBC are the same people: BlackRock, Vanguard, are 2 I remember.

I rarely watch morning news and never watch Katy Tur, but I put Tur on because Nicolle was coming on next. She had 3 guests on talking about suppressing free speech and Tur asked one of them why Krasnov would do such an unpopular thing, the 3 guests did all they could do to flat out burst into laughter, like I did. One of the guests answered in a mocking manner, asking if he had 3 hours to answer, then she went to Denver Riggleman for the next question and Riggleman stated, boy I'm glad you didn't ask me that tough question, being sarcastic.

Tur didn't get they were being sarcastic to the point of mocking her. She ended her show by saying that's why she's there to ask tough questions, and she has 2 fucking hours on TV.
