I don't think Chris understands the difference between hate speech and free speech, and the difference between censorship versus giving someone a microphone.

Or, if I was going to be less generous and more cynical, I would say that Tweety knows his paycheck depends on sensationalism, confrontation, discord and pitting one side against another.

If I was going to be even MORE cynical, I'd say Tweety gets off on it.
