President Joe Biden’s nominee for commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission hates Fox News and wants the federal agency to regulate conservative broadcasts because she disagrees with them.
The White House first announced Gigi Sohn as Biden’s FCC nominee in October.
“Gigi is one of the nation’s leading public advocates for open, affordable, and democratic communications networks,” the Biden administration claimed. “For over thirty years, Gigi has worked to defend and preserve the fundamental competition and innovation policies that have made broadband Internet access more ubiquitous, competitive, affordable, open, and protective of user privacy.”
Sohn’s inclination towards censorship and partisan regulation, however, torpedoed her chances of confirmation. Biden re-nominated Sohn at the beginning of the year but her chances of gaining Republican support are once again slim considering her history of criticizing and painting TV networks she disagrees with as threats to our democracy that need to be punished.
In one 2019 tweet, Sohn hinted that Fox News should be scrutinized because they “have played their own role in destroying democracy.”
“I agree that scrutiny of big tech is essential, as is scrutiny of big telecom, cable & media. And trust me, the latter have played their own role in destroying democracy & electing autocrats. Like, say, Fox News?” she tweeted.
Another poor hire based on what they think or feel and with zero proof that what they think or feel is correct.
Example – vinnie viola (billionaire owner of the NHL florida panthers) was going to be nominated by Prez Trump to be the Sec Army. Vinnie was a grad at west point, served, then stayed as a reservist but hit the big business trail. Thankfully Vinnie did not accept Trumps nomination and figured he wasnt the right fit….
Whereas this FCC pick, no sense at all.
She’s coming across as another parrot who insists that democracy is being destroyed by those who honor the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Damn, she be ugly, too!
Open affordable democratic forms of communication advocate , Just like build backbetter, the Patriot act, the new normal. these are all marxist terms Used to deceive and really mean the exact opposite. Reversal is a old luciferian trick.
Lucifer, buddy!!!
The devil is always in the details – both sides of the aisle too!
FCC wanting to censor TV – what a nitwit!
How about giving us back UHF/VHF TV? Loved getting all those out of town markets during very low cloudy rainy evenings or perfectly clear sunrise mornings. Use to get VA Beach, NC, western PA and NYC TV stations WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back in the day. You know, when things were “right” and live was rather simple!
Orwell was a prophet.
Keep cheering.
You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet…..
