alt Hacker NewsI guess I am interesting in discussing the much narrower question. And I can see you are not yet sick of replying to me :P, so I'd like to ask your view ImPostingOnHN -- do you feel that the text of Carr's request seems on-net good? If not, what is it in the text that you object to? To be clear, I actually do find one line objectionable (and maybe you'll show me others). He calls on broadcasters to air "patriotic, pro-America content". I feel 'patriotic' is just on the line of making me uncomfortable, and 'pro-America' slightly crosses over it. I think the right to criticize the powers-that-be is quintessentially American, and asking for explicit pro-America content betrays that. But I can also see ways that both of these could be interpreted in a positive-for-humanity way, even though they don't naturally jump out to me in that way.
There's really no good reason for me (or you) to exclude critical context from the announcement, given that they're both "generic American politics". Plenty of bad reasons though.
If you want to discuss "generic American politics", however, I have some questions already posed to you earlier which you thusfar have ignored because they were "generic American politics".
