2. They didn't mean "Free Speech" as in the 1st amendment.
They mean free as in free air time for some GOP shill to give a speech.

3. F Katie Couric. She's a washed up has-been in the media.
This move has proven she can't pull in the viewers on her own. She has no credibility, she needs to be doing fluff stories instead of hard news. She isn't capable, nor is she qualified to sit in Walter Cronkite's former chair.

It's a real shame.

5. Only if you spell Light "LITE" - fits Katie better, don't you think?
:rofl:

Oh, and it needs to be in a pale pink font, something frilly, with a hazy cloud around it.

:rofl:

7. It's not "Free Speech"... it's . . . "freeSpeech"
I'm sure that running the words together like that means it's trademarked and copyrighted...

It's like truthiness..
