Murphy is “inappropriate” to be a US senator.

I had just assumed we would not make it to the 2016 “elections”

Murphy should be impeached for using his elected office to interfere with legitimate free enterprise in the U.S. Any elected official who tries to damage legitimate free enterprise in our nation should be impeached and sent home - also negate any retirement package for such an official.

Bob Beckel huffed and puffed on The Five yesterday when the race was announced. I bet he got his hand slapped.

Promos on the local FOX station in Dallas aren’t mentioning the oh-so offensive name.

Cable isn’t regulated by the FCC.

I'm not an expert on the subject, but that doesn't sound right as a broad statement. I think some of that depends on whether you're talking about cable carriers (the companies whose services the ordinary viewer would contract for, like Time Warner, for instance) or the cable channels and networks (like FoxNews, CNN, ESPN, CNBC, etc., etc.). I know that the cable carriers are largely regulated by local governments, but I also know that the FCC has to approve of mergers and acquisitions amongst them, or at least that was true during the Clinton years. The guess here is that the networks, like FoxNews are licensed by the FCC as well.

Regardless, Murdoch's NewsCorp operates a whole slew of over-the-air Fox Network television broadcast stations, with outlets in just about every major market in the country. Those definitely do require FCC licensing, renewable periodically. So, he has a lot of skin in the game, no matter what the legal status of cable regulation.

I’m watching the race. I don’t recall NRA being mentioned yet.

The Fox announcers are not mentioning the sponsor of the race. They are calling it “The NASCAR Sprint Cup at Texas” race. No mention of the NRA at all.

That’s right. No mention of NRA at all as far as I could tell. I wonder how high up the Fox hierarchy that decision was made. I also wonder if any contractual agreements were violated.

I’m watching Ch 7 in south Florida, an independent affiliate, not a Fox O&O.

The local FOX station was never in any way ‘conservative’
