Trump is holding the same views as he has from the beginning. It is the MSM who is trying their best to discredit him.
For instance:
The media spin on President Elect Donald J. Trump’s sit down with the New York Times on November 22, can only be described as dishonest. Trump appears to soften stance on climate change & Donald Trump backflips on climate change & Trump on climate change in major U-turn
The ‘fake news’ that Trump had somehow moderated or changed his “global warming” views was not supported by the full transcript of the meeting.
The MSM is picking and chosing partial quotes. I hope by now you have seen that they are misleading.
He’s not trying to abolish the FCC.

Abolish the FCC
I’m saying the FCC must be abolished because I know the FCC will try to censor the Internet as the article below proves. . But I hope Trump becomes aware of this

We actually need spectrum management more than ever.
I agree. I’m saying the FCC must be abolished because I know the FCC will try to censor the Internet as the article below proves. . But I hope Trump becomes aware of this

Abolish the FCC
Those are all good points . I agree.
Having been a licensed Amateur Radio operator for 60 years, I was thinking the same thing.
I’m with you. While a lot that goes on in the FCC is probably way out of my field, I’m definitely opposed to Net Neutality and other over regulation.
The FCCs move to regulate the internet and to bring back any kind of equal time is very disturbing. There is a need for band assignment and interference control. Maybe conducted emission control, but the FCC has become a tool for censorship. This needs to come from Congress with a big hammer on their heads.

The FCC puts the imprimatur of the government on the claims of journalistic “objectivity” which spring from the business imperatives of wire service journalism.That is exactly backward. The lesson of ancient Greek disputation is encapsulated in the following two etymological definitions:
The lesson is that claiming a virtue as an argumentation technique is a mark of the propagandist. I think all reporters should try to be objective, and if they are then it is legitimate to say so. But nobody has any business claiming to actually be objective. The first task of a sincere effort at objectivity is to be candid about what incentives might cause you to not be objective. This is entirely incompatible with any claim to actually be objective.
- sophist
- 1542, earlier sophister (c.1380), from L. sophista, sophistes, from Gk. sophistes, from sophizesthai "to become wise or learned," from sophos "wise, clever," of unknown origin. Gk. sophistes came to mean "one who gives intellectual instruction for pay," and, contrasted with "philosopher," it became a term of contempt. Ancient sophists were famous for their clever, specious arguments.
- philosopher
- O.E. philosophe, from L. philosophus, from Gk. philosophos "philosopher," lit. "lover of wisdom," from philos "loving" + sophos "wise, a sage."
"Pythagoras was the first who called himself philosophos, instead of sophos, 'wise man,' since this latter term was suggestive of immodesty." [Klein]
Thus, the government has no business at all promoting “objective” journalism. Philosophy - e.g., openly conservative commentary such as Rush - is fine. It is the “objective” half-truths and lies that are the problem.
Agree....
You maybe right about this area but most of what the FCC does is simply an exercise in busybodiedness
...equal time ?
I thought the fairness doctrine was dead in the water ?
It did. But NPR never actively represented conservative viewpoints with any zeal. It has been all one-sided in my opinion.
A private consortium like the IEEE would do a much better job than the FCC.
And the FAA, FDA, DoE, etc...

Abolish the FCC and investigate these bureaucratic tyrants
