@blogdiva I totally agree that the "the easy way or the hard way" thing was super shady and I seriously hope we find a new fcc chair ASAP.
But: this Mon Mothma speech is about misinformation, and it feels like the main problem with Kimmel's thing is that he was so spectacularly wrong about the facts.
