And the "liberal news media" controls all the information. You know, that media that is all owned by about six corporations.

Look up "news consolidation" sometime. In the 1980s, all the news outlets were ultimately owned by about 30-40 companies.

If YouTube stops working, it won't be the end of streaming video. Thousands of porn sites manage to do it. It may take several years, but something else will come along to take YouTube's place. In the meantime, we will have other stuff to do.

I thought Fireball's reaction to Rudolph's glowing nose was a little extreme. He's a magical, flying reindeer who lives with Santa and his elves at the North Pole. Surely, he has seen some really weird sh*t.

But he reacts to Rudolph as if his skull had burst into flames.
