Cruz is chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, which has oversight jurisdiction over the FCC.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz says FCC Chairman Brendan Carr sounded like an organized crime boss threatening the ABC network’s broadcasting licenses over comments by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.
The Texas Republican also emphasized how much he hates what Kimmel said about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk — and how much he likes and works closely with Carr.
Having high-ranking federal officials threaten a network in such a way, however, is “dangerous as hell” because it presents a slippery slope that could end with conservatives facing government censorship down the road, Cruz said.
At this point it damn well better end with conservatives facing censorship down the road. I’m so sick of Dems bending over and taking it only to “turn the other cheek” when they should be doling out punishments - it’s why the right keeps doing this. Need to see lots and lots of consequences if we ever want it to stop.
Biden had his chance to enforce the law and he didn’t do anything to the people that mattered. It’s too late for all that now. This doesn’t get fixed at the ballot box.
I think we have one last chance, maybe, next November.
HOWEVER we need to get plans in place, NOW, for what will be done if the election is rigged. I’d go so far as to say if he somehow maintains control due to the gerrymandering that should trigger it. But we need concrete plans in place so that we don’t sit around allowing them to consolidate even more power.
Personally I think we should be doing more now, but since most of America won’t seem to get behind that I/we have to sit back and wait until they wake up and just pray it’s not too late by then. But each passing day makes it harder.
Yep. If ever Dems are in charge again, I better see Fox lose its licence.
