We have Americans still trapped in Afghanistan, rising inflation, lackluster jobs growth, an immigration fiasco, and are still awaiting the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial—so you can see how this story fell below the radar. If you're in conservative media, pay attention because Joe Biden's nominee for FCC commissioner has been quite vocal about regulating us to death. The wolf is about to enter the hen house—and even some conservative outlets are supporting this effort. Why? Two words: Fox News.

She said that Fox was state sponsored. How is that? It's a private company.

Projection is one of the few things the Dims do well.

OANN supports this move. There is a link to the press release from them in this article, or you can just read it yourself at the link below.
OANN needs to remember this bit of prose from the 1930s/1940s:
First, they came for the Communists, but I wasn't a Communist, so I didn't speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I didn't speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I wasn't a Jew, so I didn't speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me. - Martin Niemöller

There should be no such thing as "state media" in a free country yet we have the WaPo, NYT, CNN, MSNBC, USA Today, NPR and a bunch of wannabes that do nothing but parrot the party line and call it news. If this clown wants to regulate social media, go ahead and regulate until they all shut down through choking on their own filters.

Gigi Sohn is mistaken. She meant CNN is state media.

no problem with having that happen - Paul Ryan is on the Board at Fox, so, expect the unexpected.

I am amazed at the number of committed communists in this country and they are apparently all democrats vying for a position in this administration. What with the career bureaucrats and these communist zealots, Washington must feel more like Moscow than the seat of a representative republic. The hubris of this administration and unending pressure to fundamentally transform this country wears thin on the Patriots in this country. Will we ever experience a government again of, by, and for the people? What is it going to take to wake up the cowardly Republicans tasked to represent us? If they won’t speak out in Washington, at the very least they could go home and speak out. I don’t believe they have any idea how angry we the people are. Every single nominee democrats put up, is the worst possible choice for the position. SMH.

Fox is corrupt and controlled. They will not report or investigate voter fraud. That tells you everything you need to know. And Tucker may be doing some good work, but the deep state does not need to worry about one or two conservative commentators. It's a minor percentage of the overall media and gives the illusion that we still have objective journalism. But later I expect the cabal will simply remove the pesky Tucker, perhaps with a trumped up scandal.
Plus, I will never forget how Tucker attacked Sidney Powell TWO DAYS after the presidential election fraud, portraying her as some sort of charlatan. The next day Laura ingraham stated that Trump should just concede and move on.
There are dark forces working behind the scenes who are experts at bribery and blackmail. They are everywhere, and I wouldn't be surprised if they are tampering with the Rittenhouse jury.

This is ironic, I stopped watching Fox news when they sold us out during the 2020 election. Fox got in bed with the leftists to get rid of Trump and still that wasn't enough to keep them happy. Now they want to regulate Fox to put them on even footing with the "unbiased" likes of CNN. Well, the moral is "If you lie down with liberals you'd better catch fleas or we'll regulate you to death".

A lot of us were down on Fox last year with the Chris Wallace debate debacle, and then calling AZ on Election Night, but we need Fox. They're not perfect, but they're still very good. Support Fox News.

My understanding is that 'cable only' channels such as Fox News are not regulated by the FCC as they are not broadcasts in the usual sense.
This from the FCC website: Cable television system operators generally make their own selection of channels and programs to be distributed to subscribers in response to consumer demands.

I think the term State Media just means that any network that supports the current regime in DC and runs with their lies and BS could be considered State Media. Every news outlet out there with the exception of Fox could be considered State Media right now. This nominee is an idiot, like all the others this Resident has nominated. They want to beat down Fox, because they have the last vestiges of any kind of honesty that can be found right now. Like Judge Pirro and Gutfeld. The network must be beaten down.

Fox News isn't news...it's a government agency delivering the "correct elite news"...they allow tucker and hannity and a few others to make themselves look good...but it's run by two men who are whipped by their crooked Hillary supporter wives... nothing more...go to Newsman if you want the real news....
