Interesting. CNBC features Chairman Carr next to a graphic of Disney’s declining stock prices. Could that be his real goal with his unprecedented attacks on ABC?
"The FCC welcomes your views:" docs.fcc.gov/public/attac... When I click the link I get this notice. (I did write to Chairman Carr asking him to please correct.) But let's unpack in the next thread.
NEW Petition standing against the deployment of the FCC's news distortion rule. A law would be the better long-term route. The FCC did not stand against unfair use of that rule in the WTVT case decades ago when FOX argued there was a rule but no law against distorting news. youtu.be/nC3QzjGvCaY?...

It turns out Terry Moran has his own plan for telling us truths. I've followed him on Substack, hope you will, too.
May you have a meaningful Memorial Day. 49,000 Allied troops died during the Normandy invasion that we may be free to enjoy our Democracy.
While Big Broadcasters claim they'll produce more news if they can have 2,3 or 4 stations in the same town, the truth is they often just put the same news story on all their stations. See photos below, then read further to take action! 3/

Please share this list for those in California Fires areas. Wear natural fiber clothing (wool, cotton, linen) and leather soled shoes if you have them. Prepare now, and if fires are coming your way, get out early. Also, bring a paper map if you have one. Cell service could fail.
Thank you for the gift of you - all you do, all you are, all you love! Blessings.
If you see this, drop a pic from the last place your passport was stamped. Ah, awe, Florence.
Interesting. France's deficit is at 6.1% and their government is on the verge of collapse. Ours? 6.3%. CNN on French crisis: www.cnn.com/2024/12/02/e...
Internet was in its infancy in 1996. Few were online, there were no podcasts. Radio ruled. In its invisible way it still has a giant impact. People worry about FOX. Did you know that Hannity gets 4 million viewers on his best night? He disinforms 13.5 million listeners on Radio - every day. 3/
Why didn't the media report these crowds for Bernie Sanders in 2016? Why breathless coverage of Trump's every word while shutting Bernie out? A fair media would have shown the public all sides & let us decide for ourselves. It's not fair, it's a corporate self-aggrandizing media.
Add them together, you get hard right radio talkers poisoning the minds of 130 million listeners. That's up from 60 million in 2016.
In 2016, Right wing talk radio had 60 million listeners. Today? More than twice that. 2/
