> I think it’s funny that while GOP supporters are investing tens of $billions to take over popular broadcast and social media brands to privilege their point of view, Brendan Carr threatens to invoke the equal time rule, which would completely negate their structural advantage.
Why assume the rule would be applied fairly? Carr said they would not enforce it against right wing radio.
It is unlikely Carr will be FCC chair past January 20, 2029. (If he makes it that long.)
However, all those conservative billionaires will still own their media companies. Expanding the coverage of the equal time rule would hand the next Democratic administration a big club to swing at them.
Hey maybe for his next act, Carr will revive the Fairness Doctrine that was repealed under Reagan.
Carr made public comments January 29.[1] The 1st news report of FCC investigation was published February 7 seemingly.[2] And CBS's risk and reward estimates for a current official and a candidate could have differed.[3] And Ossoff and Shapiro had not filed as candidates reportedly.[4]
A generality about 1 word of a metaphor is not a legitimate argument.
I read what David Shapiro called concrete interventions.[1] They were public ownership, redistribution, public ownership or redistribution systems he called predistribution, shorter work weeks, and under developed blockchain ideas.
Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.[1]
