Trump's FCC Pick Wants NBC To Lose License Over SNL Skit

[turbinetree]

Brendan Carr wrote the Project 2025 chapter on the FCC.

By John Amato — November 18, 2024

Donald Trump who continually claimed he had no contact whatsoever with Project 2025, immediately tapped Brendan Carr, wrote the chapter on the FCC for Project 2025, to head the FCC.

Lying liars, all of them. Brendan Carr seems to believe "DEI" is worse then cancer.

Before November's election, Carr told Maria Bartiromo he wants to punish NBC over a SNL skit.

BARTIROMO: What should be the, you know, the ramification here?

CARR: Yeah, we need to keep every single remedy on the table.

These two just don't and do not see the First Amendment..........they can get on some cable show and be protected by the First Amendment.........but when some other entity does it well..............not so much............

1. Well, then Fox should lose its licenses, being that they trafficked in so many false stories, favorable to tRUMP and

his ilk. As well as the lies too, regarding democratic issues/Democrats.

3. This country is just so screwed.............and its all because of money and the corruption being

played out in real time...........they got some nimrod in Texas proposing a bill to shut down the internet with pro choice material..........

2. I think that's mostly smoke and mirrors

What he really wants to do is funnel 800 million to Starlink.

He also wants to enshrine disinformation on the Internet as free speech. I think that ship has sailed already.

4. Who can play him this week?

5. That's why 45 picked him

That's why 45 picked him. Probably didn't even know the guy but when he said pull nbc license because of the skit, 45 suddenly liked him.

6. Networks don't have licenses because they don't broadcast anything.

They create the programming that TV and radio stations, which do have FCC-issued broadcast licenses, can choose to broadcast. Licenses are issued to allocate frequencies used by the radio/TV spectrum. The guy who wants to head up the FCC should know that, and that the FCC can't revoke a license the NBC television network doesn't have in the first place. Fox doesn't have a license either, but since it's cable the FCC doesn't regulate it either except with respect to some technical aspects of cable.

10. Exactly. This is right wing performance art, playing for the MAGA

Not that they would stop at whatever corruption they can get away with

9. But, but, but, the snowflakes are all on the left!

Only tough guys on the other side!

11. His FCC pick doesn't know that networks don't have (or need) licenses ??!!

What a fucking moron. Since he obviously has no understanding of who or what needs a broadcasting license, he is totally unqualified to be on the FCC in the first place.

13. He knows that the NBC owned stations have licenses. But he's also a lying sack of shit.

NBC knows what his threat was. But they also know there was nothing but hot air behind it.

He's a dickwad who claims to be a defender of the first amendment but is more than willing to use the government to attack and silence private speech.

I've been a communications attorney for over four decades and previously worked at the FCC for a period of time. There have been some bad chairs -- Kevin McCarthy and Ajit Pai to name two. Carr is way worse. The only thing that I have trouble putting my head around is that Joe Biden nominated him for a new term in 2023.

14. No one will lose their license. You know why? SPORTS!

STFU Carr!! You ain't gonna do shit. As soon as Sunday Night Football isn't shown, the 'bros' will turn on Trump.

15. And not just this... Trump's war on freedom of the press had begun long ago

and will now be far worse, since he'll be empowered to do "what he has the power to do."

16. Then every media outlet in the country should lose their license for giving so much time to Trump and not making

up for it with any Democrats.
