Maybe a competent lawyer could explain the 1st Amendment to this out-of-control ignoramus.
Point of rhetoric: just saying that the act upholds the rule of law is not the same as demonstrating that the act upholds the rule of law.
Simply asserting that the decision upheld the rule of law isn’t actually making the case that it upheld the rule of law. NBC shouldn’t have appologized.
History’s winners tend to be more circumspect. See, “Mission Accomplished.”
Fuck you Trump!
The enemy of my enemy is not always my friend.
Who writes the TPM Headlines? Maybe you should say Trumps Demands FCC censure NBC… Or do you really mean you wanted to write “censor.”
“But I think a fair history would say that it was a good decision because it upheld the rule of law.”
That’s worse than the first part of his statement. I certainly hope the judge makes clear in his decision why Barr is wrong.
In a joint statement today 2000 ex Justice Department lawyers disagree with Barr.
If he’s demanding the FCC go after NBC and Chuck Todd would he go so low as to call his pal MBS in Saudi Arabia and ask about the services of some bone saw wielding henchmen?
The FCC has no jurisdiction over cable TeeVee stations. Nor over satellite radio.
He wants Concast to be reined in by the Federal Conmunications Conmission?
Between the moronic lines, he’s saying “I demand the First Amendment be done away with because someone they call my toadie was called out by someone I call sleepy.”
But if he knew how to read he could access print media criticizing Barr and by extension him for this illegal move in both editorials, reporting and in an opinion piece from Neal Katyal.
Watch everything they do except the talking parts.
They want you to pay attention to the talking parts.
Shorter Trump: The Fairness Doctrine for thee but not for me.
This is the guy who doesn’t want to wear a mask because he says it would make him look ridiculous. The Goddess of Irony is rolling over in her grave.
I may let up on my criticism of Chuckles for a while…at least until he reverts to type. If Trump is agin’ ‘im, can I be agin’ 'im?
No, this is NBC, not MSNBC. NBC is under the purview of the FCC.
But not the kind of purview Trump expects.
Trump can thank St. Ronnie for obliterating any sense of balance on the public airwaves.
Exactly! 1900 former DOJ alumni certainly agree that Barr is not upholding the law, only his politically-motivated interpretation of it.
