Trump lays clear his Admin's threats against free media. None of that 'power of the market' crap. This is government threats against free speech.

Donald Trump Makes Another Threat To Go After ABC As He Blasts Jimmy Kimmel’s Return​


Donald Trump finally weighed in on Jimmy Kimmel’s return to the air on Tuesday, with a not-so-veiled threat that his administration would still go after ABC.

Trump posted on Truth Social, “I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his ‘talent’ was never there. Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who’s not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE. He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution. I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings.”

Do you think ABC is deserving of public airways? Or for that matter, NBC or CBS?
 
Trump is trying to prove how big of a cry baby ***** he can be.

"You need to quit making fun of me............". He has lived such a life of insolation that he has never learned that all his whining and feet stomping does is make people do it even more,

Cancel Culture bites Democrats in the ass.....and they spend day after day crying about it.

Woke privilege will always hurt your bottom-line. Woke-privilege is just DEI.

Huge difference in people acting bad and the government acting bad.
 
Sounds like you are arguing that the system is socialist in nature?
Not sure how you twisted that up to make that jump nor do I care.

Who owns the airways that networks need to function?
 
That's funny....because it's pretty clear to everyone that the government had nothing to do with Kimmel getting pulled.

It was an economic decision by Disney.

So it's not Trump doing the threatening? It's all made up?

You aren't saying the government owns it and can pull it when they don't like how it is being used?
 
No one. Thats garbage.
Nobody owns the airways? You really are uninformed. Not that it surprises me. I rarely meet a lefty here that is.

Technically, the airwaves are owned by the people of the United States. The 'people' of the US, through the federal government in Washington, have decided that administration of that ownership shall be given to the Federal Communications Commission, pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934 and subsequent amendments and other such appropriate laws. For technical reasons, this is to prevent multiple broadcasters from attempting to broadcast on the same wavelength, which happened early on in the infancy of broadcasting. For financial reasons, it was done to protect advertisers who depend on having their ads heard on broadcasts which are not 'drowned' by powerful transmitters which displace noise on neighboring frequencies, perhaps including that of the advertiser who paid for the ad. And for the public sake so that each time we tune into a particular frequency, we will be assured the entity we expect to find there will be there, will be able to broadcast on that frequency and listeners/viewers will be able to hear/view that broadcaster, subject only to constraints of distance from the transmitter, ability of the receiving unit and quality of the transmission and reception.


Now try to focus and answer the question. Does ABC, NBC and CBS deserve to use our airwaves, according to the law?
 
You aren't saying the government owns it and can pull it when they don't like how it is being used?
No, dear, we own them and you don't own any more of it than I do. We gave the power to the FCC to regulate them way back in 1934.

Now, try to focus. If we own them and gave our power to the FCC to regulate them, do the networks have to obey the rules Congress wrote when the FCC was born through their legislation?
 
Deserving? We live in a capitalist society. We are not subjects. Government does not get to decide who is deserving here.
Oh, you mean there are not laws and licenses that protect the public interest?

Yeah, let's go for anarchy everywhere!
