UT alum Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 Donald Trump ordered the FCC to sanction CBS for two segments about Ukraine and Greenland Sunday night. I saw the Zelenskyy segment. Looked like journalism to me. If any of you support this move, how can you call yourself Americans. It is a blatant affront to the First Amendment. The Weasel cries like a baby when people complain about what his supporters say or do citing free speech. He pardoned hundreds for their “expression” of free speech on Jan. 6. If someone says something he doesn’t like he acts more like Putin than he does an American President. Can’t you see the kind of country he wants to try and create? It’s certainly NOT a democracy.

LumRaiderFan Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 No one takes you seriously, where was your outrage when Obama’s DOJ went after James Rosen and others. There was actual spying on private citizens going on. The melting is so satisfying, lol. Quote

Also in a democracy, you don’t dismiss a sitting president and replace him with a fool just because you think he can’t win and you aren’t sure he could last another term…..and I don’t even like Biden, but this was wrong and unconstitutional. CBS falsified their communist candidate’s answers during a presidential run. What could be more democratic? Actually, it was so treasonous that they may go under with the multi-billion dollar lawsuit. When subjects like this arise, the crybabies run and hide. Whataboutism, whataboutism, whataboutism……wahhhhhh. LumRaiderFan 1 Quote

Hopefully, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), as headed by its Highly Respected Chairman, Brendan Carr, will impose the maximum fines and punishment, which is substantial, for their unlawful and illegal behavior. CBS is out of control, at levels never seen before, and they should pay a big price for this," Trump continued in his post. LumRaiderFan 1 Quote

If it walks like a duck and wicks like a duck… He is Brendan Carr’s boss, and he readily fires bosses who don’t do as he “hopes”, or who disagree with him. The First Anendment is the real issue here. He wants a news organization fined for airing positions he disagrees with. Why not comment on some of that? Quote
LumRaiderFan Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 Don’t recall the left worrying about the first amendment when the last administration pressured news outlets to squash Covid data they disagreed with, which they actually did. But Trump makes a comment that will have no affect and NOW the first amendment is being violated. lol Reagan and baddog 2 Quote

He pardons lawbreakers who say what he likes. “Free speech for me, none for thee.” That’s an autocracy, not a democracy. Does that clarify my point any at all? Do I have to give a link to me?

In fair context, 60 minutes edited the Harris interview to hide her incompetence and make her look more impressive than she is. They acknowledged it. That can potentially be election interference. baddog 1 Quote
baddog Posted Thursday at 12:35 AM Report Posted Thursday at 12:35 AM Even free speech has limitations. To be in control of a nationwide media outlet and broadcast fake news to the American public is treasonous. Losing their FCC license should be the least of their problems. The problem people have with the first amendment is that they think it allows them to do anything. Quote

Changing the entire word salad response is criminal, especially during an election run. Don’t let hate rule your judgement. Quote
