Dangerous: FCC Puts DeSantis On Notice Over Threats To Prosecute Florida TV Stations.

[whitehall]

Truman ain't hardly my favorite president but he said one thing right..."if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen". It's was politics as usual back in the 40's and 50's but when democrats take over it becomes fascism.

 

[Marener]

Any comment on FCC fast tracking Georgey Soro's bid to buy 200 radio stations before the election and ignoring existing rules on the process?

Yes. It’s false.

It is now, it was not before. To say it was is not only disinformation, but misinformation which is the deliberate lies told by the media to protect one political party over the people.

FEMA has already pre-positioned equipment and personnel before Helene hit. But of course you ignore that fact, a well documented fact. There is the fact Mr. Biden was talking the Governors of Georgia, Florida and North Carolina not on the phone before Helene, but on the ground afterward. VP Harris was feeding victims of Helene, Diaper Shit Boy lied out of his shit covered ass.

FEMA & the U.S. Government were on the ground before Helene hit. That is a fact you ignore, Stop the lies.

If all you claim is so well documented, maybe source your claims.

The issue here is that the FL Health Department wrote a letter, because the information in the Ad was completely false and lies.

I thought the Xiden/Harris admin was about stopping disinformation?

Broadcast stations have been given the right to use their part of the airwaves for free, a license that would be worth hundreds of millions of dollars if it were auctioned instead of handed out.

In exchange for that, broadcasters agree to operate their stations in the public interest, not as private owners who are entitled to free speech rights. They are heavily regulated, which is why we even have an FCC.

The courts can decide which side is right or wrong on this, but it won't be decided on the basis of first amendment absolutism, because the first amendment is not absolute, and does not apply to those licensed in the public interest.

 

[hadit]

Just like P01135809, he has zero respect for his voters, for his base. All he is about is power. His threats are empty and he knows it, but he gets headlines.

You could always not vote for him next time. That'll teach him.

So government censorship is good when Republicans do it.

Gotcha.

Gotcha.

Worked for the left. Maybe that's where the repo's got the idea.

When did the left threaten criminal prosecution for speech they didn’t agree with?

 

[Delldude]

Yes. It’s false.

You sure?

KEY LETTER EXCERPT:

“It is highly concerning that the FCC did not follow regular order for a transaction of this magnitude. Licensees and investors need certainty that the FCC will follow its rules and procedures when approving transactions so that the broadcast industry can have the resources it needs to continue serving the public.”

BACKGROUND:

• Audacy, Inc., a radio broadcasting group, which owns more than 200 radio-station licenses, filed for bankruptcy earlier this year.
• Audacy’s filings revealed that a George Soros-backed group known as the Fund for Policy Reform had acquired at least 40 percent of Audacy’s debt.
• Audacy estimated that, upon emerging from bankruptcy, 25 percent or more of its stock would be indirectly foreign owned, which triggers FCC review.
• This review process requires national security agencies to review the transaction and offer any policy or national security concerns.
• On September 30, 2024, the FCC released an Order granting a temporary waiver of this review process, delaying a national security review until after the bankruptcy process is complete and allowing foreign control of a significant number of radio stations across the entire United States, weeks before a national election.

[Marener]

You sure?

Yes.Republican members of Congress are inveterate liars.

There is no foreign control. George Soros and everyone who manages this transaction are Americans.

Audacy’s announcement also comes months after the radio giant approached the FCC in March, requesting a full foreign-ownership review while also asking the commission to delay its review, an FCC spokesperson said. In its request, the radio giant emphasized that it believed about 22% of a new, post-bankruptcy Audacy would be foreign-owned, requesting a review out of an abundance of caution

 

[Delldude]

When did the left threaten criminal prosecution for speech they didn’t agree with?

Ask James Rosen.

 

[Marener]

Ask James Rosen.

When was he prosecuted?

 

[Delldude]

Yes.Republican members of Congress are inveterate liars.

Yet you use CNN, known liars, as a source...............

There is no foreign control. George Soros and everyone who manages this transaction are Americans.

Audacy estimated that, upon emerging from bankruptcy, 25 percent or more of its stock would be indirectly foreign owned, which triggers FCC review.

 

[Delldude]

When was he prosecuted?

You said threatened.

 

[Marener]

Audacy estimated that, upon emerging from bankruptcy, 25 percent or more of its stock would be indirectly foreign owned, which triggers FCC review.

This is false. They said no more than 22.5%.
