You stated that reagan took the teeth out of the FCC. Well, moron, the FCC does not cover cable channels. CNN is a cable channel. What exactly do you want me to address? You won't post these FDR/1940s standards you want to return to. All you have done is create points for me. Man up! Don't be...

It felt trumpeted, kid. Maybe you shouldn't have used large font. So, instead of answering the post, you're gonna complain about the word trumpeted. Oh, look - trumpeting: Okay - go play....

That is precisely the problem, in my view. I prefer the standards of the 50s, 60s and 70s. The cable companies which broadcast them are monopolies, and they rely on these regulated monopolies to get their product out. The deregulation you are trumpeting here is precisely what allows fake news. I ...

And moron, CNN, and other cable networks, are NOT LICENSED BY THE FCC. They do not use the public airwaves. They are classified as a paid tv cable network. So whatever you hate reagan for doing has no effect on your argument. In asking for CNN's "FCC License" to be "turned off" Stone misses a maj...

What objective standard would you suggest? Does the first amendment give an artificial person the right to monopolize any particular bandwidth of the public airwaves? If not, we can certainly take AWAY the bandwidth of any artificial person which operates against the interests of actual HUMAN BEING...

Depends on your definition of objective standards. That pesky first amendment gets in the way. But I notice you are still reframing....

My motive for the thread has been further explained - stop your **** whining. The issue ultimately is one of philosophy - much of law, since you seem unaware, is in the courts' interpretations of the legislature's intent. And their interpretations seem to be guided, at least in part, by public opi...

This has to do with your philosophy, FAR more than it has to do with existing law. Existing law is irrelevant, as enforcement mechanisms have been corrupted. A big part of the corruption is your corrupt philosophy of government. Under the rules of FDR, corporations were required to operate in the...
