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

[dblack]

So someone like Rush Limbaugh was not in the public interest?

Doesn’t seem like the right had all that big of a problem with hyperpartisanship in the last.

Who is the arbiter of journalistic integrity?

The main thing that's "not in the public interest" is pissing off the government.

So someone like Rush Limbaugh was not in the public interest?

Nope.

Doesn’t seem like the right had all that big of a problem with hyperpartisanship in the last.

I’m not part of “the right.”

Who is the arbiter of journalistic integrity?

Who is now? The hyper partisan hacks at the alphabet networks.

Let them buy the airwaves and do as they please.

 

[Marener]

Nope.

Maybe you’re not on the right, but you sure do have an authoritarian instinct.

I haven't read the law but DeSantis' objections to the ad are that it misrepresents what the law would do and not because the ad is pro choice.

If DeSantis is right about that, then that should be the debate. Does the First Amendment protect, for political purposes, distortion/misrepresentation/disinformation of what a law does or or will do?

Is the MSM being dishonest and unethical when it does not state what DeSantis' actual objection to the ad is but implies that DeSantis is objecting to it because it is pro choice?

Well according the gov't that spends money on "stopping disinformation" they should be happy that Desantis wants to stop ads that lie about a law.

Yeah. I don't get it. Democrats and Republicans are mostly on the same page about this. Why they gotta argue?

 

[Foxfyre]

Well according the gov't that spends money on "stopping disinformation" they should be happy that Desantis wants to stop ads that lie about a law.

You would think so.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Maybe you’re not on the right, but you sure do have an authoritarian instinct.

Because I want public property to serve the public interest?

 

[Jarlaxle]

NO we are not. I strongly believe in Bill of Rights. What I oppose is people who use their religion as their excuse to judge others based on their skin color, religious practice. I oppose saying that they believe in non-existent Magical, Mystical, Mythical Sky Man that they have right to deny other people the right to marry the person the love simply the love of their life is the same gender. Your right to worship you version of your sky man is protected. You have no right others their personal religious practice

Gun Violence the NUMBE ONE CAUSE OF SCHOOL CHILDREN! Yet, you people oppose common sense gun control.

You people create a conspiracies because you Orange Shit Bag lost an election. Even though is zero evidence Election Fraud. NO you non-existent did not chose that Orange Shit Faced traitor. Get over losing. Grow the fuck up.

More lies.

Ron and his Napoleon complex, is going to need taller lifts in his boots, if he's going to take on the FCC.

I didn't research in what way as I haven't read the law. What makes you think he is lying about that?

Well that's a softball.

He has a long history of signing bad laws and bad executive orders that were misrepresented to the public and later deleted by the courts.

Like the don't say gay law. Boy, did he spend a lot of energy claiming that was "misrepresented" by it's critics.

Then the courts basically deleted it for the exact reason it was being criticized.

Even a cursory look at his record turns up a pile of such examples.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Well according the gov't that spends money on "stopping disinformation" they should be happy that Desantis wants to stop ads that lie about a law.

If only he could state what the lie is.

But you guys love your authoritarianism. So no need for that, right?

 

[Foxfyre]

Even a cursory look at his record turns up a pile of such examples.

The court disallowed some wording in the so-called 'Don't Say Gay' law--that is a HUGE distortion of what the law was all about--but left the heart of the bill intact. Florida schools still won't have to allow objectionable curriculum in their schools.

So perhaps you could post a few examples from that 'pile' your cursory look turned up? I'm not finding any.

When it is about baby killing it is about free speech. When it is about FEMA not doing its job it is misinformation.

It is not about baby killing. What right wing fascists say about FEMA is a BIG FAT LIE!!

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

The court disallowed some wording in the so-called 'Don't Say Gay' law--that is a HUGE distortion of what the law was all about--but left the heart of the bill intact.

The law was gutted. And the main point of criticism of the law was agreed to by the judge, when he gutted it.

You know, the bit DeSantis said everyone was lying about.

You asked for evidence. I gave you a salient, perfect example.

My work is done, here. Your challenge wasn't challenging.

Kinda funny how the left is crapping on themselves to defend FL TV stations lying to the public, but want to BURY Fox news for what they describe as the EXACT same behavior.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

The Federal Communications Commission aimed at Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) Tuesday for his administration’s threats to criminally prosecute Florida television stations if they refuse to stop running a political advertisement supportive of a ballot measure that would expand abortion access in the Sunshine State.

'Dangerous': FCC puts DeSantis on notice over threats to prosecute Florida TV stations

“The right of broadcasters to speak freely is rooted in the First Amendment,” FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said in a statement Tuesday. “Threats against broadcast stations for airing content that conflicts with the government’s views are dangerous and undermine the fundamental principle of free speech.”

The war of words erupted in response to a cease-and-desist letter the state Department of Health sent to television stations last week. The warning letter stems from a political ad featuring a woman who was diagnosed with brain cancer two years ago while pregnant with her second child, the Miami Herald reported.

Notice of what? What’s the Harris/Xiden admin putting the FL Gov on notice of? What are they gonna do to Fl for writing a cease and dist letter to a network running a ad that is lies?

Oops, you forgot to point out any lies.

So did Ronnie.

See the pattern

How was it gutted and what Judge ruling?

Dang, must be frustrating to see everyone talking about something you don't know anything about.

A normal adult would go read up.

Diaper Don want ABC and CBS investigated as well. Freedom Dies when the Press is shut down. This is what is happens in a Fascist State. This is what happens in a Communist State. This country is a Democracy, our rights are codified under the Constitution. Our very rights are being threatened by Men dedicated to dictatorship.

And yet it's you morons with the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" who had total, unfettered monopoly on all broadcast and print news because it also shut down Conservative voices. That is until 1987 when President Reagan rightly had his FCC kill it.
