So you AREN'T aware that this government, and indeed this government rep which we're discussing, has threatened to revoke broadcasting licenses from companies for airing content the government disagrees with? Or worse? On multiple occasions?

The omission of that critical context might be why none of my post made sense to you: you would be unable to realize that the 'invitation to participate' we're discussing involves a degree of coercion, based on those threats. If you threaten somebody to give you their money 3 times, and then a 4th time you 'invite them to participate in giving you their money', that is 4 threats total, not 3.

Of course, anything in the world can be justified if you omit enough context, even government-compelled speech and government censorship. Just omit the context of the 3 times you threatened your mugging victim to comply, and all you have left is a polite invitation to share money. Totally okay, right?
