DGA Urges Senators To Reject Joe Biden’s FCC Nominee Gigi Sohn; Vote Will Be Delayed Because Of Absence Of Sen. Ben Ray Luján

The Directors Guild of America is urging the Senate Commerce Committee to reject Joe Biden’s nominee to the FCC, citing Gigi Sohn’s past stances on copyright.

The committee was scheduled to take up Sohn’s nomination on Wednesday, but it will be postponed because of the absence of Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), whose office announced that he suffered a stroke. He is expected to make a full recovery...

In confirmed, Sohn would give Democrats a majority in the FCC, giving them the votes needed to restore net neutrality rules or take a harder line against media concentration.

But industry lobbyists, often at odds with Sohn when she led the media and telecom public interest group Public Knowledge, have expressed their misgivings to the Biden administration. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), an industry ally on issues of copyright, in December urged Biden to withdraw the nomination...

She seems obviously gender confused. Butch haircut. Same sex attraction, if she has it, was considered mental illness in a saner age. Has publicly talked about censoring Fox News. Perfect type of person to be controlled for a censorship of the media. Liberal humanists, whether they be Communist, Socialist, or Liberal, cannot long abide the free exchange of ideas because in such an atmosphere the truth reasserts itself. Look at Biden’s approval after Fox merely covered gas prices, food prices, crime, immigration. From 7 to 11 PM, Fox has one devastating monologue takedown of Biden and Wokeness after another. It takes a toll. Is Fox perfect? No. Should interview more vaccine-injured people and the loved ones of those who died after a shot, among other things. But if it, talk radio, and Internet forums like this go away, we’ll be full blown Commie.

Yes, because of the stroke of the 49-year-old Senator. Surprised Mitch seems to have all the squishes under control. Didn’t have them all on impeachment or infrastructure.

It doesn’t surprise me that the Rats heavily prefer Big Tech to Hollywood in terms of their California preferred corporate interests. What is surprising is that Hollywood keeps signing up for more disrespect and remains in denial that Rats don’t care about them.

Is Sohn a lesbian or a transgender? I’m usually pretty good at distinguishing but that photo has me at a loss. Memories of SNL’s Pat.

to restore net neutrality rules


How many here remember what it was like before that legislation was killed?

FR would disappear overnight, as every post would have to have a counter post included. FR servers would quickly be overwhelmed and the site unreadable, with comments closed.

In the days of the “fairness doctrine”, talk shows consisted of basically an open mic. In one example I know well, the host would simply listen to you complain (politely, of course) and then say “Well, thanks for your call Bob. Now...”

No commentary allowed - otherwise, somebody will show up at the manager’s office and demand time to respond.

The Great Rush Limbaugh sprang from the ashes of the Fairness Doctrine.

Yeah, The Farm News was a big hit then on ‘talk’ radio. The (?)woman(?) is hoping to take us back to those dreadful days, killing talk radio and internet sites like FR, Rumble, Frank, etc.
