The Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office, headed by the embattled Marilyn Mosby, has filed a formal complaint with the Federal Communications Commission against a local news station for alleged “blatantly slanted, dishonest, misleading, racist, and extremely dangerous” coverage in a move many believe is an attempt by Mosby to censor reporting on her own federal criminal investigation.
The complaint, addressed to FCC acting chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, accuses WBFF — the Baltimore-based Fox-affiliate — of partaking in an “intentional crusade against … Mosby, which given today’s politically charged and divisive environment, is extremely dangerous.” It also details what Mosby’s communications director, Zy Richardson, believes to be a “disconcerting and dangerous pattern: beginning with a slanted, rigged, misleading, or inflammatory headline; followed by conspiracy theory; and supported with guest commentary from disgruntled ex-employees or political opponents that[sic] lend false credibility.”
Richardson says, “ I am deeply worried that if the WBFF’s coverage is not curtailed and ceased, then someone is going to get hurt. I implore and encourage you … to enlist the full investigative and enforcement powers granted to you by the Federal government to take action against the WBFF as soon as possible.” (Emphasis added).
Richardson cites FCC rules and guidance that dictate “broadcasters may not intentionally distort the news.”
Richardson argues, not citing examples, that “[i]n the public sphere, Fox News is infamous for its bias against people of color, and even more against those who could be deemed ‘progressive’ people of color.”
Richardson pointed out, “the Fox national news network airs a nightly show with Tucker Carlson, despite recent calls by civil rights groups to terminate his employment because of Carlson’s frequent endorsements of white supremacy views.”

Mosby is an absolute disgrace. And now she shows she can dish it out but she can’t take it. All that racism she has been the victim of her entire life, and she’s still so thin-skinned.
Your race card expired.
Make the ALL race cards.
Don’t accept it for a second.
I don't know. Fox still employs Juan Williams and that in and of itself shows great forbearance to people of color. And idiots too.
Scary stuff.
Wouldn’t it be easier if Mosby just asked Biden to cancel the First Amendment? An executive order would probably do the trick.
Side note to Joe: Just be sure to say that it’s being done to curtail “hate speech”.
partaking in an “intentional crusade against … Mosby, which given today’s politically charged and divisive environment, is extremely dangerous.”
“when telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act”. They thought nothing of this for the past 5 years when it came to the absolute propaganda they spewed towards Trump.
They’re not censoring enough already? Really?
Wow!
Frankly, I am very surprised there is any local news in Baltimore, which would be disagreeable here.
That is a pretty rare phenomenon, IMHO.
Hitler, Stalin, Mao, etc., etc., etc. surely would be proud.
She’s got it backwards. The embattled Marilyn Mosby should be petitioning Fox news to save her from criminal charges brought against her by Biden’s racist Just-Us department.
Liberals can’t figure out who to complain to about what.
I have no idea what the investigation is or what was said about her, but she sounds like a crybaby from one of the most violent and corrupt cities in America. My GoS meter barely registers.
Gee, ya think?
Juano Williams lowers the IQ of any room he enters.
He’s why I stopped watching the five.
