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

[struth]

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

A normal adult would go read up.

I think you are actually referring to an out of court settlement the State of Fl got into with the folks suing. The law wasn’t gutted at all, Fl settler agreeing the the law didn’t do the things the plantiffs demanded

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.

“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.

Further proof that DeSantis is an authoritarian thug who has contempt for the First Amendment.

DeSantis knows better.

He is putting on a little show for his base. He counts on them to be ignorant and gullible.

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, this is a lie and red herring fallacy, a failed attempt to deflect by the cowardly, dishonest right.

The thread topic is about the fact that DeSantis is a fascist thug, like Trump and most on the right.

It is not censorship to say that the public airwaves must be operated in the public interest, as every licensed broadcaster has agreed to do.

And as usual the reprehensible right attempts to defend the indefensible.

This has nothing to do with the ‘public interest.’

It has to do with the partisan interests of conservatives who seek greater government authority at the expense of individual liberty – and the right’s willingness to violate the First Amendment to realize that goal.

Everything is reprehensible and indefensible to you. Fckn parrot

It's against the public interest.

Which is why the FCC warned him.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

And yet...progressives are the ones openly calling for the end of the First Amendment.

Conservatives, masters of the red herring fallacy.

That the right is so consistently dishonest comes as no surprise.

This is yet another lie, yet another failed attempt to deflect.

And yet again the thread is about DeSantis’ contempt for the First Amendment, not ‘progressives.’

True.

And like the classic fascist DeSantis doesn’t care about the law or the truth – he uses the authority of the state to intimidate and silence political opposition.

Lol

Hillary, Kamala, Schiff, Kerry et al have all called for restrictions on the First Amendment and should the Democrats achieve complete power again it is pretty much a given that the First Amendment and likely most or all of the Constitution will be effectively dead.

More deflection from the dishonest right – the thread is about DeSantis’ contempt for the First Amendment and use of the authority of the state to intimidate and silence political opposition, not Hillary Clinton or Vice President Harris.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Who is the arbiter of journalistic integrity?

Certainly not the state, hence the First Amendment.

Except that DeSantis has done no such thing while Kerry, Hillary, Harris, Schiff et al all have. But if you don't like my posts, do feel free to scroll right over them.

Which is of course a lie.

 

[airplanemechanic]

Oops, you forgot to point out any lies.

So did Ronnie.

See the pattern

The lie is simple, the ad says that there are no exceptions to the abortion ban. There are exceptions, it is a flat out lie. Desantis is right.

The law states:

"After 6 weeks, an abortion may be performed if two physicians certify in writing that in reasonable medical judgement the termination of the pregnancy is necessary to save the pregnant woman's life or avert a serious risk of substantial and irreversible physical impairments of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman other than a phycological condition. The two physical requirement is waived in the event of an emergency medical procedure."

I watched the ad.

It does not say that.

Did you make that lie up yourself, or did someone else tell it to you?

 

[airplanemechanic]

Did you watch the video I linked? Of course not, because you don't like to see the actual ad. That showed a woman who had brain cancer that said she wouldn't have been able to get an abortion. That's a fucking lie. It's bullshit. The video proves it.

But of course personal attacks are all you lefties have because you have nothing else.
