   Is…is Lester’s point that if multiple news outlets report the same thing, it must be collusion?

   So something is absolutely true if only one person ever says it?

   If Action News 10 says the sun rose in the morning, and Power News 12 also said the sun rose in the morning – then, obviously, it must be FAKE NEWS!

   I often think Lester’s logic is a bit strained, but this is a new one for me.

   So all of the problems listed here are entirely due to Republicans seeking power rather than looking to govern well…and you call that a “both sides” problem?

   Once again, this is a “one side is breaking things purely for the sake of chaos, but the other side isn’t as pushy on my central issue as I want” thing.

   @mlester101: Your argument here isn’t about how many people enjoy a thing, but the effort exerted. If the effort is the same, the pay should be the same: that’s what you’re arguing. As @Boise Ed pointed out, that includes all creative activity, a whole lot of digital goods, etc.

   If “Mike du Jour” appears in one newspaper, or in twenty thousand newspapers, Mike Lester exerts the same effort. So why should he be paid any more?
