    I read it as these two questions:

    1. Which controversial sentence said over public broadcast media do you disagree with the critiques of?
    2. Which controversial broadcast sentence do you come closest to agreeing with, even if you don’t think it true and hate yourself for even contemplating as true

    Don’t know if I’m right or but that reading makes most sense to me after a couple of passes and some thinking.

      We’re both interpreting it slightly different ways:

      • you - the utterance is specific, the speaker is unspecified
      • me - “utterance” is a placeholder for “discourse”, the speaker is whoever answers the question

      To be honest this is really cool. Now I’m curious if one of us got it right, or if we’re both reading it wrong.
