Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC - Biden’s FCC did go after Fox.
Biden’s FCC went after Sinclair broadcasting too. In fact, the Biden FCC failed to renew hundreds of routine licenses for that broadcaster — something that the agency had never done before.
The Biden FCC also determined and wrote that broadcasters have a “obligation … to take all reasonable measures to eliminate any false, misleading, or deceptive matter.”
At the same time, Democrats in Congress pressured cable companies to drop Fox News, OAN, and Newsmax for their newsroom decisions. And that pressure worked in many cases. Those were cable channels, too, that have no broadcast public interest obligations.
Earlier, Democrats in Congress wrote the FCC and called on it to investigate the news activities of a conservative broadcaster, including under the FCC’s news distortion policy.
Democrats also called on the FCC to block the sale of a radio station in Florida on the grounds that they thought the buyer was conservative, stating “To win in 2022, this must stop!” The sale didn’t go through.
The list goes on and on and I have no doubt that it will go on and on again at some point in the future.
Remind me - which one of these Democrat actions did you consider weaponization and push back on ?

Imagine Biden’s FCC chair going to a left-wing conference and bragging about getting Fox hosts fired and new liberal ownership for rightwing media outlets.

Brenden Dilley @WarlordDilley - Ivan Raiklin looks like someone tried to abort him but he somehow survived.
