The BBC manages to somehow do both! It\'s amazing what you can do

imprisonment, it seems.


The real crime with American media is they almost universally
expect you to pay to watch/read it, instead of the reverse.

I wanted to watch the Red Sox lose to the Astros and it\'s never
been harder to just watch a game than it is now, it\'s all
paywalled to hell and gone with a few captive providers and who
would ever pay them for a subscription.

Fox was carrying it online and they give you a free 1 hour trial
so I watched it for an hour and then just repasted the link to the
free trial in a Chrome incognito window thinking \"no way this is
gonna work\" and it worked fine, what a bunch of dumb-dumbs.

You could probably just write a script to automate that and get
infinite sports TV until they figure it out.

I haven\'t used them for a while but you might still be able to
stream Fox TV with these links. Also other U.S. channels too.

http://watchnewslive.tv.fox

http://livenewsnow.com/featured/fox-news.html

Looks like those are for Fox News (ick), but in the US they have a
number of other channels that carry live sports etc. that you can
only watch online if you have like a cable TV provider login, or
subscribe to one of those online service like Hulu, Fubo, Sling,
YouTubeTV, and probably pay some additional monthly fee, I haven\'t
checked.

The sites offer other live U.S. channels too. I used Fox in the links
because that what you mentioned.

Oh I see, I\'ll check that out. Is the first link correct? it doesn\'t
seem to go anywhere here \"DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN\"

I\'d say he isn\'t too. But, the defendants will pose he is because he talked to the press after the incident. I hope the slanderers are not successful, but it is theoretically a possibility.

I don\'t know why the law is as it is, I just know it is. In effect, it is much easier to get away with slandering a public figure than a private one in the US.

The Republicans better keep throwing some money at him or else white
nationalist organizations will be his only means of financial support,
at which point an apology for the \"defamatory statements\" won\'t really
be required.

Republicans tend to be kinda cheap, though.

As in Donald Trump\'s defamation of Joe Biden, in claiming that Biden suffers from senile dementia?

Phil maybe silly enough not to realise that it was a deliberate lie, but Phil\'s ignorance is part of the problem, and his denial of it is another.
