Whataboutism has no place in constructive discourse.
Whining about "whataboutism" is the last resort of the hypocrite.
This is a weird hill to fight and die on. I have no problem with the FCC applying their equal-time rule to late night shows if they run on local television. Seems like its a healthy thing for democracy.

Apply it to conservative talk radio first, and then we'll talk. As applied now, it's clearly the gov't chilling speech.

No, it's calling out a red herring. It's a valid response in a discussion to say that your comment is not contributing to the topic at hand. Especially when your comment is not really comparable.
I find it fascinating that USAians can not see that their two political parties are barely any different from each other. Trump is as vile as the previous lot, but with zero attempts at hiding it.
Anyway, we have a saying: you can not wake up someone pretending to be asleep.

The drive through has a two lane system so cars can just go around. The EMT would show up and drag them out of the car then a tow truck would come and get the car. Most "regular" employees are happy to see the drive through disabled it makes their job much easier. Most restaurants place a small construction cone out to block one of the lanes to reduce customers as it's too much work. The franchise owners are in a str…
I’ve never seen a come out at my McDonald’s in Ballard, and it has two lanes. They charge too much to leave money on the table though. Also, it’s a franchise, not corporate, so maybe a different attitude since the owner is probably also the operator.

It depends on the hour and the ability of the franchise owners to keep qualified talent. Utah is a decent state without crackheads everywhere.
I wonder if you’ve ever been to west valley city before, but I digress.

Strongly disagree. I find it fascinating that USAians can not see that their two political parties are barely any different from each other. Trump is as vile as the previous lot, but with zero attempts at hiding it. Anyway, we have a saying: you can not wake up someone pretending to be asleep.

Weird how you are against giving another democrat equal time.
Who do you think would need to be given equal time on conservative talk radio?
What would be the other outcome of the change to the rule that I am proposing? Also I am not even against the rule being applied to talk shows, I just want to see it applied non-hypocritically.

Read my comment again, and then think about it. Who do you think would need to be given equal time on conservative talk radio?

So you see general entertainment TV shows as the same as literally conservative radio? If a conservative radio show gave equal time to Jasmine Crockett who would even listen? If Hannity gave equal time to Joe Biden, probably hours of equal time, who would even want that? Or take it seriously? That's like a Mosque giving equal time to a Rabbi. That's not the spirit of the rule. Late night entertainment shows were gett…
Otherwise it's a first amendment violation. I'm opposed to violations of the first amendment.
I don't care "who is going to listen to it?" if it's a rule, it's applied consistently or not at all. No "special case" for conservatives.
