Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.

Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Baby steps. Just do a 6:30 pm news cast to compete with the networks and report on what they won't because of risk to their affiliate FCC licenses. Give us something to switch to in that time slot first. No commentary, just REAL NEWS.

What's cable?

You know when I loved college sports? When I was a kid and actually playing those sports myself. When I was in college, and that's it. Less and less every year since graduating. It's so inferior to pro sports that I have a hard time watching it.
