FCC Chief Carr's Threats of Retribution Seem To Be Working

Originally published at: FCC Chief Carr’s Threats of Retribution Seem To Be Working - TPM – Talking Points Memo

Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr has been one of the most successful sycophants of Trump II thus far, as he increasingly finds creative ways to use his post as head of the communications commission to clamp down on free speech and punish and threaten those in the media whose coverage and commentary President Trump…

Back in February, Carr announced that his agency was investigating whether “The View” violated a 1930s era FCC regulation, the “equal time” rule that requires broadcast shows to provide equal airtime to a candidate’s opponent if the program decides to have one candidate on for an interview on public airwaves.

Which clearly does not apply to Fux Noise.

“They didn’t ⁠tell us how powerful these helicopters were and they felt ​a little bit guilty,” Trump said Monday.

(Rolling eyes. Once again.)

Let him use a Blackhawk and be done with it. Seems silly to have an aircraft capable of so much more shuttling people around.

Heard today that if he drops out of the race by the 2nd Monday in July, the democratic party can replace him by nominating another candidate.

The View should have Talarico on again, and then reach out to the Paxton campaign to have him on the show, where they could grill him about his affairs, his corruption, the impeachment by his own party, etc. Of course Paxton would decline the offer to appear because he’s a coward, so then what could Brendan Carr do??

Sikorsky ain’t payin’ for shit. We will pay for it. Lockheed Martin will deposit the (eventual) 11M to fatwad’s account.

“Sir,” he said with a tear in his eye. “We’re so sorry we made you fly in the pui–fied Obama/Biden choppers. We have upgraded you to the “No homo” Sikorsky “My penis isn’t small - I swear” uberchopper.”
