"Sounds Like Corruption": FCC Fast-Tracks "Soros Shortcut" Purchase Of 200+ Radio Stations - Election "Interference" aka Leftist Insurrection by Election THEFT - D.C. NIFO
Posted by freedomforall 1 month ago to Politics
Excerpt:
""Commission leadership tried to approve the item at the staff level, with nothing but a 48-hour notice to Commissioners on a summer Friday. There is almost no factual record on the item because there was almost no attempt to do a real public interest analysis," Simington continued. "Not a single Commissioner outside of the Chairwoman was invited to even think about the issue until staff was directed to handle it on our behalf without our votes. That’s the true ‘fast-track.’"
The transaction is stirring concerns over potential shifts in media influence. Soros' track record of acquiring media outlets and shifting their editorial directions has been a point of contention, especially concerning conservative radio programming. The Soros Fund Management, however, has stated plans to revisit the FCC for a regular review in the future.
Amid these developments, FCC Democrats argue that similar procedural flexibilities have been applied under previous administrations, citing bankruptcy cases like Cumulus Media and iHeart Media, where foreign ownership limits were temporarily exceeded to facilitate restructuring.
Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY) called out the FCC over the move - saying "Looking at the facts, it seems the administration is giving a left-wing billionaire, who is a major donor, a close ally, one of the chief funders of all of their efforts and their dark money, a free pass to take control of hundreds of local radio stations, flooding the airwaves with leftist propaganda and I think it’s blatant.""

No one in D.C. can be trusted for a fair unbiased election (OR ANYTHING ELSE.)
D.C. is utterly corrupt and can't be reformed. Just NIFO. It's the only way to be sure.

We will see if the above even gets to a court. Agencies, in general, all the way down to county level, can, perhaps will, be challenged on constitutional viability for present and historical overreach
Though Loper Bright v Raimondo now establishes the grounds for "Agency" overreach, the SCOTUS decision, within the first four pages of the syllabus, makes it clear there will not be retroactive actions. Each one of the cases will have to be tried where ever they have been found. At least a remedy is in law now.
