    Tenacious D The law is of supreme importance, or no importance

    Completely agree. But that the process is even possible to begin, is progress.

    foxnews job is to make money, not report the most important news of the day over and over again.

    Are you saying that a profit motive is not always the best model to follow when dealing with certain thing of national and personal interest?

    At least, are you saying that the desire to profit outweighs the ultimate stated, not understood, goal of an entity?

    Because if you are, welcome to my anti-health insurance revolution.

    The stated goal of an insurance company is to make money, no?

    Can't serve 2 masters, imo.

    How in the hell is Anerica First in all things a populist approach? Democrat immigration view is populism. Welfare for votes is populism. It's the dumbass left argument that it's somehow xenophobic and thus pandering to low IQ racists that somehiw equates to this term. It isn't populism. It's pragmatism.

    If America First is so limited in its appeal, we need to think through how this place works.

    See, when you ignore all the other things in favor of a small few, you are cherry picking.

    The immigration thing, the Muslim thing, the wall thing, these are all populist views. The idea that middle America won this election. Populism. Drain the swap, no more elites. Manufacturing in the US. Coal. Populism.

    That you latched on to "America First" doesn't alter the fact that the overall agenda was, is and will be, populist first.

    It was said that Fox's type of reporting (or any other outlet) is explained away by their main purpose being to make money.

    Why are insurance companies exempt from that logic?
