    Because it is a simple free speech issue, and judges do err all the time. We have lots of innocents behind bars for it too. The bullshit is pretty transparent, but, eh, what the hell, just roll with it, right?

    You're just being silly. 'CodeArtisan' is completely correct with that assessment. Just because somebody takes the show seriously does not make it journalism. That is a totally whack idea. And I still have to ask, what difference does it make if it was? What is he supposed to do to make you happy? Sorry, you are nuts. He does a comedy show and is in no way responsible for how people take it. That is their own personal problem.

    And as far as trolling goes, I have to admit you are a good one. You sure got me fished in, and a bunch of other people too. Congrats!

    I like that. It would be extremely reliable. The interstates would be rivers of wifi, with real P2P.

    Well, I don't expect these cars to 'need' their radios either. They can serve as just another set of eyes and ears along with all the other sonars and radars, etc. Still, there is no contesting the simple fact the the greatest danger is the human, even specially trained ones, something that the airlines have clearly proven.

    It is rather interesting because there is legitimacy to both claims.

    No, there is not. Calling it 'pink slime' is not libel in any fashion. The case should have been thrown out with extreme prejudice.

    Logic is easy. Trust? Forget about it. You're always going to play the odds regardless. The biggest danger by far is the human operator. That is well documented.

    Would you want to bet your life on it?

    We do, all the time, especially when you take a ride in an airliner. Almost all your communications are by radio, and it will remain that way, until we develop 'sub-space' communications. And if you don't want to buy a car, don't. Most of us eagerly await the self-driving variety. Regardless of the irrational fear, it will save many thousands of lives compared to the road-raged human.

    Who cares? That still doesn't make him a journalist. Only his claim to such would make him one. I talk with people about the news also. That doesn't make me a journalist by any means.

    Well, the idea is that you can use your phone in a self-driving car. And radio communications technology is not all that unpredictable.

    The first amendment does not protect against libel, slander, and defamation.

    Read the part that says, no law. That is exactly what it means. Unlike the word "reasonable", which is also sprinkled around, there is no room for any ambiguity whatsoever.

    The show is listed as a comedy/talk show, and 60 minutes as a news show. Any particular viewer's opinion on the matter is irrelevant. Regardless, the rules are the same for both.

    Operating a dangerous machine is not really a right. If you want to obligate the government to something (and why not?), make it provide safe reliable public transport. After all, we do pay taxes on the infrastructure.

    You are an American. You are entitled. Make the government serve you instead of the insurance industry. Start with a firmly worded letter, and follow through with your vote if they don't comply with your wishes.

    Whatever nonsense there is in this discussion is coming from you. Maybe it's because you choose to believe their lies. I can assure you that you nothing to gain by it. There is no shortage of fundage. It's just all tied up in the stock/derivatives markets and hoarded into offshore deposits. Free it up and we can all live like kings.

    Everybody pays taxes. Some just don't declare it, but they do pay.

    But I don't get any government-provided health care.

    But you are entitled. You just have to demand it, and vote for people that will properly implement it, and grandma can get two knees for the price of one, once you deal with all the present day fraud and political corruption that makes everything so expensive.

    The economy is more than prosperous enough to trivially pay for it. You just have to make the people with all the capital pay their fair share of those taxes.

    Now, you can complain all you want about the democrats. I don't even consider them. They are worthless to the cause, same as the republicans, only there to protect their own interests.
