FCC Approves ‘Soros’ Purchase

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC NEW

The FCC just released the text of its 3-2 decision to approve a Soros backed group’s purchase of 200+ radio stations.

The Commission’s decision today is unprecedented. Never before has the Commission voted to approve the transfer of a broadcast license—let alone the transfer of broadcast licenses for over 200 radio stations across more than 40 markets—without following the requirements and procedures codified in federal law. Not once.

And skipped the rules to do so. Sounds like time for it to head to the Supreme Court.

It is my understanding that George Soros has US citizenship.

They tried to do that against the Maharishi Rush Limbaugh and they all failed.

I didn’t realize that the FCC was purchased by Soros, but in hindsight I guess I can see that they were.

I wonder what other govt agencies he owns ?

We need more laws as a check and balance on media control. It is clearly out of hand.

Those stations will comply with any federal requests to squash “disinformation”

“We need more laws as a check and balance on media control. It is clearly out of hand.”

47 CFR § 73.3555 - Multiple ownership.

The ability to own lots of stations has exploded in my lifetime.

How come conservatives have to be slow-walked through every paragraph of every law just to purge voting rolls, but liberals get fast-tracked by skipping the federal laws altogether?

How come a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from asking the citizenship question on the 2020 census citing "arbitrary" reasons when making the decision, but a massive 40-state media buyout by a liberal is approved without any due process whatsoever?

Someone in an oversight committee in the House needs to block this in the courts ASAP.

Perhaps:

Except to free persons and release private property, judicial actions involving a restraint or cost on:
1. a state law entity should have to be approved by either by state law or a branch of Congress,
2. the federal government should have to be approved by a branch of Congress.

Would really be a shame if the broadcast antenna towers for all these Soros propaganda outlets were to collapse

Talk radio has been huge for conservatism in this country, most recently among Hispanics - it’s predictable that the Soros family would target it. Meanwhile, the GOP stands around doing nothing.

If for political purposes, Group S buys the stock of Group O to acquire Group O’s media corporations, that might be an illegal campaign contribution.

Group O has the campaign finance law media exemption.

The media corporations have the campaign finance law media exemption.

Group S does not have the campaign finance law media exemption, in my non-lawyer opinion.
