The Federal Communications Commission will vote to repeal the National Television Ownership Rule that is supposed to prevent a single broadcast station owner from reaching more than 39 percent of all TV households in the US. The proposed change sets up a likely court battle over the FCC claim that it has authority to repeal a limit set by Congress.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has already treated the rule as more of a suggestion. In March, the Carr FCC granted a waiver allowing Nexstar Media Group to buy Tegna in a deal that let it reach over half of TV households. The Carr FCC argued that Congress gave it authority to modify or waive the rule.
Carr now plans to repeal the 39 percent limit and replace it with a “case-by-case review” of each proposed merger, the chairman announced today in an op-ed published on Breitbart. The change would make it easier for the FCC to pick and choose which station groups get to surpass the limit. Under Carr, this would likely benefit news companies that provide favorable coverage for President Trump.
Y’all Fascists are bound to lose.
I really dont think so. We’ve never seen this level of technology integrated with fascism. We’ve imagined it. And in our imagining we assumed that we would win because thats the story we want to believe. That good will always ultimately win.
I dont think so. We’re looking at the tools for a 1000 year dynasty. I don’t know that it will be the US, but someone is going to use this tech to rule the world and when it finally happens I dont see an avenue for resistance.
Just other wealthy fudalist techno-fascists using their control to have us killing each other and ignoring a dying world.
