Does not the FCC regulate obscene, indecent and profane language — have they not had the responsibility of doing so for many decades? I would not expect to tune in to Fox News and hear that kind of thing.

The most amusing part of this is Lowry’s contention that Fiorina had some kind of great victory over Trump. Many people in the media and GOPe were dying for that to happen, but that is not what I saw. Instead, I saw an aggressive, unsmiling and unappealing person hiding behind her sex. The only thing that makes Carly special and makes her apparently presidential material beyond the thousands of other ex-CEOs out there is that she is a woman. I don’t find a identity-based candidacies particularly consistent with conservatism.

The FCC has the authority to regulate content that goes over public airwaves. Not cable.

Only on broadcast TV; the FCC has no jurisdiction over cable TV.

It's cable, I'm pretty sure they can say what they want. So much for "professional" journalism. TDS is affecting the entire organization.
