This was the part, it was on the second “page”:

Jonathan Zasloff, a law professor at UCLA, suggested that the federal government simply yank Fox off the air. “I hate to open this can of worms,” he wrote, “but is there any reason why the FCC couldn’t simply pull their broadcasting permit once it expires?”

Thanks! I read the article earlier and it only said:

“Jonathan Zasloff, a law professor at UCLA, suggested that the federal government simply yank Fox off the air. “Do you really want the political parties/white house picking which media operations are news operations and which are a less respectable hybrid of news and political advocacy?”

Fox News doesn't broadcast over the airwaves. I may be wrong, but doesn't that prevent FCC from having any control? Does the FCC regulate cable?
