Obama-Era FCC Caught Red-Handed Giving Preferential Treatment To Liberal Groups

A high-level employee at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 2014 appeared to give leaders of liberal-leaning groups preferential treatment for posting and publicizing comments on the agency’s public forum for the net neutrality debate.

Details of the highly friendly support were first described by then-The Washington Post’s Nancy Scola, who referred to it as an “unusual collaboration” in an in-depth report on the FCC’s filing system. Those details became significantly more incriminating after Mike Wendy, director of the market-oriented nonprofit MediaFreedom, recently received once-classified pieces of electronic communications years after he filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Wendy alleges that, along with other conservative organizations, they were not given the same effortful and enthusiastic treatment their liberal counterparts received.

Is there any thing the past White House occupant done that was not criminal?

[Carl Vehse]

AG Sessions will have those Traitorobama kakistocrats charged with crimes any day now.

Get rid of the FCC.

Move the auctioning of public airwaves to the commerce department central.

Demand Congress do its job and LEGISLATE any “telecommunications” laws it deems appropriate and move “enforcement” to - again, the Commerce department. BUT Congress needs to also stipulate such enforcement requires the Commerce department to bring its case to a U.S. appellate court where the defendant’s rights are protected and the government must prove its case before any actions can be taken against the defendant.

That should be the model for all such “regulations” now being enacted and enforced by the currently independent “regulators” Congress has abdicated its lawmaking authority to.
