This person's ridiculous comment is a fantastic example of bad faith. Whataboutism, putting words in my mouth, and a singularly irritating (willful?) ignorance of current events.

The person who posted this is perhaps not already aware of:

- The FCC chair Brandon Carr threatening broadcasters to cover the war correctly, or else lose their "license"

- Federal judges repeatedly calling out the admin for ignoring court orders, bypassing regulation, and arbitrarily prosecuting political enemies (Jerome Powell being only the latest failed attempt)

- Hegseth saying he can't wait for David Ellison to take over CNN so the coverage improves

If they were aware of these things, I would expect them to recognize a LITTLE significance in the removal of a commitment to 1A principles from a publication owned by the government.
