  7. The #FCC has limited power over issues like this, & its own website states the agency “cannot prevent the broadcast of any particular point of view,” so the notion of “punishment” for #KristenWelker, the moderator of #NBC’s “Meet the Press,” would historically [& legally] be a nonstarter.

    But #BrendanCarr has been quick to respond to #Trump’s requests to go after #media organizations. And he has taken aggressive action against some #FCC licensees…

  8. The posts were Trump’s most explicit efforts yet to direct the #FCC to carry out his wishes. FCC Chair #BrendanCarr, a Trump appointee & close ally, did not respond to request for comment.

    #Trump posted a long missive Sunday about what he described as mischaracterizations of his endorsement record in primaries.

  9. The #FCC, led by its chairman, #BrendanCarr, called for an unusual, early review of the broadcast licenses last spring, citing ABC’s internal diversity & inclusion practices. None of the #ABC licenses, which have terms of 8 years, were up for renewal yet. Carr’s decision came after the ABC late-night host, #JimmyKimmel, angered #Trump with a monologue joke.

  10. #BrendanCarr already sidestepped the ownership cap earlier this year when the #FCC approved Nexstar’s $6.2 billion merger with rival Tegna, which would give the country’s largest #TV owner an 80% reach into #US homes. That deal was subsequently blocked by a federal judge after DirecTV & several state attorneys general sued, alleging #antitrust violations. The case is ongoing.

  11. #FCC lifts the cap limiting the size of #TV #broadcasting companies
    
Chairman #BrendanCarr has long said he would do away with the ownership cap. Critics say only #Congress has that authority.

    The FCC Thursday voted to eliminate a long-standing #regulation constraining the size of large television broadcasting companies, a major #deregulatory move pushed by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.

  12. The greatest villain in the CBS/Paramount scandal (aside from Trump,) is Shari Redstone,who sold to Ellison and personally pocketed $2B.

  13. “To the folks at CBS, in the words of the great Ed Murrow, good night and good luck, motherfuckers.”

  14. So CBS had to make some "hard decisons" and let people go.

    Seems to me the best "hard decision" they could make would be to get rid of disaster artist Bari Weiss!

  15. I guess the Ellisons see CBS as a loss leader. Why not just go ahead and sell the fixtures?

    I’ll bid on Dan Rather’s anchor chair.

  16. Silencing free speech kills democracy. They are trying hard!
    If we can’t remove Trump, we can do our damnedest to remove “fixer” Brendan Carr.
