19. Does it matter?
I actually thought I explained my point of view well enough above. I do, in fact, have fairly regular contact with conservative points of view. I also have regular contact with progressive viewpoints as well - generally (but as in this case, not always) more enjoyable ones politically.

In order, though -

I've never even heard of Creative Response Concepts.
We watch Fox News irregularly, but often enough (we're not regular viewers of any TV news program.)
A.E.I. stands for American Enterprise Institute, and they're conservative in some way - this exhausts my knowledge of them.
Heritage Foundation - I know more about them, and some of what I've read on the Fairness Doctrine may easily have come from them, but I could not point to it specifically. I have not deliberately sought out their view, nor am I deliberately repeating it.
Grover Norquist - no idea what his opinions on the matter are, nor do I really care.

Now, I hope that satisfies you, because I'd prefer discussing the issue, rather than my motives. Is the argument I've put forward in the other posts remotely persuasive? Apparently not, so what do you see that I'm missing? I'm not a plant, but have no possible way of ever proving that, so I don't intend to address it further. Can we discuss this under the assumption that I honestly disagree with you?
