In a recent post, Mourning Lots of Unvaccinated Texans, I wrote about the people who died from COVID-19 because they refused vaccinations: maybe taking (one’s) medical advice from Fox News wasn’t such a great idea after all.
But we live a country in which free enterprise is the law of the land. Does Fox havethe right to disseminate whatever disinformation it chooses, if by so doing it makes money? After all, what does “free speech” mean as we find it in the First Amendment to our constitution?
Well, this “law of the land” is not absolute. After all, Fox did have to shell out $778 million to Dominion Voting Systems following an agreement to settle the defamation case; Fox had repeatedly broadcasted what they knew for a fact to be false, that the plaintiff had rigged its election machines to “flip votes” from Trump to Biden.
Maybe the take-away is this: if you have no integrity and you’ll do whatever it takes to come out on top, roll the dice and take your chance. It cost Fox close to a billion dollars.
Do you think this will change American lives for the better? If so, how?
Rewriting the U.S. Constitution will take some work, as I’m sure you’re aware.
What does the most affluent state in America need in its next governor? I’m pretty sure it not a Trump supporter.
Yes, we have traffic, which we hate. But that’s because everybody and his dog wants to be here for our economic opportunities and our natural beauty.
In general, we reject racism, ignorance, corruption, and environmental destruction.
I can’t swear that the content of the meme here is accurate; in fact, most affluent Scandinavians I run across admit that they pay higher taxes than Americans.
They claim that the attraction is that they aren’t forced to live among uneducated slobs where people are dying of treatable diseases with masses of impoverished people living on the streets.
Isn’t there something to be said for that?
