The FCC is simply a fascist propaganda tool of the democrat party!
An excellent idea-since all that is needed is a person/group of people to issue broadcast licenses, just have a few offices to do that like any other professional license. No need for KGB to enforce Pravda-like compliance, and I’m guessing it would save a ton of taxpayer money...
Mission Creep, the FCC was “Supposed to” only regulate radio frequencies... The only FCC involvement should only be the little label on radio devices and even that is probably way too much mucking about in the affairs of citizens.
I think we could make a push to limit the FCC to “Frequencies only” and scrap the rest of the FCC, then a few years later finish the damn thing off by taking old yeller back behind the barn and putting down the governmenr hydrophobia overreach once and for all.
Not to quibble but hammering the administration's opposition in broadcast media has been the precise purpose of the FCC from its creation. FDR instituted the FCC because he couldn't abide criticism from Father Coughlin and James Gillis among others. Obama's just the first since then to use it as openly as did FDR.
You can cut 90% of the grubment inside the beltway and never miss it.
I agree with this idea! The airwaves belong to the people not the government. I can’t think of anything useful or necessary that the FCC does.
While I fully agree with you, I don’t ever see it happening voluntarily.
When is the last time you remember any government just voluntarily giving up one of it’s weapons?
And that’s all it is - another weapon to use against any and all who disagree with them.
