I think this says something about the trump government.

[Dagoth-Ur]

It's not reality. The way the current system works is that these independent agencies are able to exercise judgement without interference from political considerations.

That system has been extremely beneficial to this country and has meaningfully contributed to our economic success.

And that's the system you seek to tear down and infect with politics.

“without interference from political considerations.” ok now I know your trolling us.

How is spreading objectivity false information in the interest of the public?

So a president could revoke the broadcast licenses of stations who said he lost an election because he believes he actually won.

Right?

 

[berg80]

They already do, have for a while. You were ok with them silencing Father Coughlin in the 1930s, you ok forcing “fairness doctrine” down everyone else’s throats, now that you don’t control a device of state you want it gone?

Had Reagan not repealed the fairness doctrine we would have had to endure propagandists like Rushbo polluting the public airwaves and the minds of his audience. We would not be in the awful place we are in as a country.

So a president could revoke the broadcast licenses of stations who said he lost an election because he believes he actually won.

Right?

And any talk show host that says anything negative about them.

These people are truly wanting to live in a dictatorship

I mean there is proof of fraud, and massive amounts of discrepancy in the voting numbers.

More importantly, your concern of censorship is entirely invalid left his love to silence people he loved to throw people in jail over ******* memes, your concern trolling doesn’t work in us anymore, we can’t trust your dirty hands anymore.

You just won’t be able to lie, why does that scare you leftists that much?

 

[Marener]

No, they operate politically, just using the political opinions of the bureaucrats.

The system is a bloated abortion, putting too much power in unelected hacks.

It's already "infected with politics", progressive politics. which is why you defend it.

You say that about everything you don't like because you're a paranoid hack who has lost touch with reality.

Is there a jobs report you don't like? Say the BLS is biased against Trump.

Is there a scientific finding you don't like? Say the NIH is biased against Trump.

Is there a ******* WEATHER REPORT that you don't like? Say NOAA is biased against Trump.

There's nothing too small for your paranoid delusions.

The point of these independent agencies is that they can't be manipulated by a single president. They have to work off of consensus. I think it's bad for the country to give one person so much power.

Where does "proof" come into play? You want the president to be the sole decider. If they decide they have proof, then they have proof.

It's not paranoid at all, it's realizing the people in this cubicles of power are all lefty idiots pushing lefty idiocy.

The end result of these independent agencies is something responsible to NO ONE.

That is unconstitutional, undemocratic, and of course right up the alley of the power hungry left.

 

[blackhawk]

It’s cute that some of you thought the FCC has been independent.

Carr's testimony being exemplary in highlighting the problem of trump agency heads erroneously thinking their primary loyalty is to the guy who appointed them, not the people.

Yeah, this was no surprise. They're making their own rules as they go, all in the image of a petulant child.

This is literally an authoritarian regime, and they have the requisite useful idiots in place.

Currently.

You want to concentrate an astounding amount of authority in a single individual and it's the left that is power hungry?

Independent agencies diffuse authority amongst a large number of people chosen by numerous presidents and approved by numerous Congresses. It makes the system much more difficult to corrupt because no one has total authority.

These are exactly the kind of institutions that lead competent governments and vibrant economies.

Weakening institutions leads to really bad places, not only in civil life but in economic outcomes. Why do you think authoritarian nations do so poorly?

If you publish a meme that contains provably false information, is that not fraud? Fraud isn't free speech, is it?

FCC chief Brendan Carr tells Senate that his agency is ‘not formally ... independent’​

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr told a Senate committee on Wednesday that his agency is “not formally ... independent.”

Shortly after Carr made that statement, the FCC apparently removed the word “independent” in a description of the agency’s work on its website.

Carr’s appearance before the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee was his first since making controversial remarks in September that led ABC to briefly suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show.

Carr, a Trump appointee, made headlines in September over his response to comments Kimmel made following the killing of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Carr responded with a threat aimed at Disney, which owns ABC.

“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr told right-wing commentator Benny Johnson at the time. “These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel, or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

Is this on par with unilaterally deciding it's just fine and dandy to use military assets to blow up boats and people with allegedly illicit cargo headed to an unproven destination? No.

But it does reflect an attitude that the regime can ignore congressional intent by declaring agencies designed to be independent from control by the executive branch are no longer so by wishing it were so. Just because the prez wants control over all aspects of government. Control intentionally not given to the office of POTUS for the very reasons we are seeing play out in real time.

AI Overview

Yes, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent U.S. government agency, established by Congress to regulate interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable, acting with some autonomy but overseen by Congress and subject to presidential appointments and legal review.

What does it say? I am not sure what your issue is, it's an independent agency, so he's correct in saying it's not a former independent agency...your entire post is a bunch of word salad....trying to make something, out of nothing

Formally as in “official” not formally as “in the past”.

 

[Darkwind]

Giving the president massive amounts of the power will **** up the country.

He has no more power than the last President did.

 

[berg80]

Under your view the President is the final authority on what can be shown on TV, what business can merge and a 1000 other things.

I do not agree that one man should have that much power.

Neither did the Founders or every SC until the Roberts court.
