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.
The root of the problem is faith ; in other words, belief without evidence
That is the root of the problem.
All of us need to understand beliefs as being on a scale that never gets all the way to 0% nor to 100%
All our beliefs have priors, based on the evidence so far, which then get updated as we take in new evidence. This is how scientists and modern philosophers are trained to think.
This is what needs to displace faith.
Again, 72% of Americans have faith in something.
Look to your left, look to your right, look one seat over to your right. You are telling each of those people they are wrong, stupid, damaging to society, and expecting them to listen to you.
51% of scientist have some sort of religious faith or belief:

Science and faith do not have to be in opposition to one another. They are completely different subjects and do not belong in the same conversations.
They both make propositions that could be true or false. They are not non-overlappping.
The whole idea of “personal truth” must become socially unacceptable.
I don’t know why this isn’t sinking in for you:
72%. Your saying 72% of people need to become socially unacceptable.
That’s not how that works.
