53. Who will "pull the plug"?
The government? Or someone else?

Do you mean "pull the plug" on the whole network? Or do you mean to "filter" just certain commentators?


How will you "pull the plug" on them, exactly? Do you mean their shows will be gone? Then what if they also go on other networks or shows?

What if they are offered a show on another network?

Or what if they write a book?

By "pull the plug," do you mean silence them in other ways, or just on Faux News? Just in broadcasting?

Are you going to arrest them?

What are you going to "filter," exactly?

Who will make these decisions?

Based on what?
