It's hilarious that the people who weaponized the government to a pre-revolutionary state are suddenly concerned about fairness and the rule of law.

100% true but it is also hillarious that those who complained the loudest about the weaponization of the government under Biden and Obama are now silent when Trump is doing it.

So you expect Trump to come after Fox news soon then? If so I have some oceanfront property in Montana to sell you.  :thumbsup:
Completely unresponsive.

Typical when you can't come up with anything that makes sense.

Trump is not telling the FCC how do their job.  He appointed the chairman, Carr, so he doesn't have to micromanage.

If Fox tells lies that sew seeds of chaos in the public forum, then I expect he would.  So far, Fox is the only source we can trust to give us both sides of the news.

There is a big bay and a dock for a boat on the property as well.

That's a very immature and unresponsive comment.  Typical.

Again, same BS from you.  Do you have any degree of embarrassment when it comes to others calling you out?  Because you act like a 5 year old who throws a tantrum to get his way.

My theory is that he likes to be called out and humiliated.  When one has a job of authority, they might look for other means to be put in place.

There's a difference between accurate and too technical. 

Since you've been accused, one would think you knew the difference.

Your comment was inaccurate.  Look it up.

BTW, Brendan Car said in 2019 "The FCC does not have a roving mandate to police speech in the name of 'public interest'."
So either he had a sudden change of political philosophy or he is doing what Trump wants.

Explain how Car is "policing speech?"

Hint: He's not.  He's responsible for enforcing violations of the FCC rules.

Hint #2: There are no FCC rules that amount to policing speech.  The public broadcast system is regulated.  When you break the regulations, you get punished.  Kimmel is free to speak anything he wants as long as it adheres to those regulations.

Are you this dense?  This has to be the 3rd or 4th time I've tried to explain it so you can understand it.  Yet, here you are.   :crazy:

What do you think those FCC rules do? Hint: Police speech (on public airways)

Your reply shows you know nothing about the English language.

When was the last time you read the FCC regulations in order to believe they police speech? 

Please point to that passage.  I must have skimmed over it.

If I were using your logic I could argue the ATF doesn't regulate firearms.
Not interested in the gaslighting, if the FCC doesn't regulate what is said on the airways why would it even exist?  Don't point to an elephant and tell me it isn't an elephant.  :crazy:

Red herring.
What is being regulated on the public airways is speech in this case.

Wrong.

If you are caught breaking a federal gun law, is being charged and convicted a violation of your 2A rights?

Same with breaking FCC regulations.  Not a violation of 1A rights.

Broadcasters are LICENSED.  Do you think they have a license to do and say whatever they want?  Kimmel lied to the public (provable fact) and used those lies to denigrate more than half the voters in the country.  That violated the rules.  Period.

If I spam a broadcast frequency with a signal that makes it unusable I have violated an FCC regulation you are correct, the 1st amendment doesn't come into play because it is not speech at issue. When you get into someone saying something on the radio that becomes content which gets into 1st amendment terrirotry. Kind of like how the government can control what time you hold a rally but they cannot control the content of what your message at the rally is.

Whether Kimmel lied is debatable since it requires he said something he knew to be incorrect however he definitely said something that was inaccurate


Taken from the FCC itself
https://www.fcc.gov/sites/default/files/broadcasting_false_information.pdf

"The FCC prohibits broadcasting false information about a crime or a catastrophe if the broadcaster
knows the information is false and will cause substantial “public harm” if aired.

FCC rules specifically say that the “public harm must begin immediately, and cause direct and actual
damage to property or to the health or safety of the general public, or diversion of law enforcement or
other public health and safety authorities from their duties.”"

". It is, however, illegal for broadcasters to intentionally distort the news, and the FCC may act
on complaints if there is documented evidence of such behavior from persons with direct personal
knowledge."

So for starters, where is the immediate public harm, damage to property or safety or diversion of law enforcement or public health?
Secondly, where is the evidence that Kimmel intentionally said something false? Merely showing he said something that was untrue does not show a violation of the rules.

Obtuse doesn't begin to cover this BS.

I already explained how they violated the FCC rules.  If you want a job as an FCC enforcer, maybe do more in the way of education than 3 minutes on Google.

Go back and read my earlier posts.  You obiously can't seem to remember what you read.
