Brendan Carr, chairman of the FCC, has threatened to revoke broadcasters’ licenses over their coverage of the war, accusing several media outlets of “running hoaxes and news distortions.”
They really are not hiding it any more.
Freedom of speech, get over it.
Freedom of speech does not mean you get to trespass onto private property and blast your message so loud no one else can talk - which is exactly what broadcasters are doing on certain radio frequencies. The airwaves are a limited public space that is regulated by the people via the government. The idea being that you need to have some level of redress for messages that are beamed through the walls of your house.
You can literally turn your radio and TV off or to another channel. There are dozens of available broadcast frequencies in every market. Your analogy is immediately flawed and completely useless.
No. It's regulated by complaints. Go and actually read the laws you pretend to understand.
Sure, but how does that not remove your press credentials if you are supporting clearly fake AI propaganda as news?
You want to be an opinion column, be an opinion column as they DON'T get sued unless you go full Candace Owens...
Have you never read the first amendment?
Sorry, is everyone talking over each other on this? How come NO ONE so far is reading my post past the 'to be fair' part.
I said they are PERFECTLY fine to disagree with the war and Israel, but their ACTIONS in WHAT they push to disagree with the war is running afoul of libel and slander laws when some of the proof has AI watermarks. You are GIVING the pro Israel side EASY legal wins to start creating precedent...
They already own the entire federal government.
They don't need anything to get legal wins besides just telling their bitches in congress + the orange nigger to do it, and it happens.
If nobody is posting the content they want, they'll just post the content themselves they want because they own all the MSM news too.
They'll manufacture the problem and then "solve" it by cracking down on the free speech of independent journalists so you can't say anything critical of israel and jews.
So, back to what I said earlier. The answer is always strictly saying "freedom of speech" and maybe a "fuck off". And don't budge one inch off of that.
Where does that say anything about press credentials?
As the press is granted special privileges not afforded to the general public, they are consequently burdened with special responsibilities not demanded of the public. To wit, the press must be prevented from lying–in any form–under penalty of imprisonment and/or broadcast license revocation.
High school brains all day in here.
Who issues "press credentials?" Who decides who can and cannot have them? What process is involved in issuing them?
Do you just make stuff up to support your favorite idea? Do you ever do a quick google search to make sure you're just not talking amazing amounts of bullshit?
Obama tried to do that during his term with Fox it was just when the left was not as OPENLY insane that the other networks protested to stop that.
Nowadays, there's a reason why the White house has been shifting the press around to have more 'new tech' independent reporters up front. The divide means that if the dems get back in at all, a lilit of your 'can't be done' will be done in the first week..
