Biden Nominates 5th FCC Commissioner

The Police Union objects to the nomination of Gigi Sohn.
And aside from the use of their walkies and maybe the communications systems in their cars, law enforcement officers have what direct ties to or impact from the FCC commissioners, exactly?

The work of the FCC has been stalled because of the lack of a fifth commissioner:
My view is they should just get a more acceptable candidate. Nothing is gained by this delay.

Who is considered acceptable?
That's a good question because there are groups who are dedicated to creating problems for any of his nominees.
The Dark-Money Group Targeting Dozens of Biden Nominees
In an escalation of partisan warfare, a little-known dark-money group is trying to thwart the President’s entire slate.
As we've seen during the supreme court hearings, some will find reasons not to vote for nominees who they have actually voted for before.
My with The FCC is members shouldn't be lapdogs The PTC which is a censorship org, anyone they support I don't like them since they support The PTC, maybe they just appease them as it seems they don't ever take any of their ideas I know The PTC patted themselves on the back on TV ratings a few years ago. On The FCC to Congress, nothing has happened on that front which I wasn't for when that got passed in 96 The PTC says it's flawed which it isn't then wanted S, V, L with the ratings in 97 that isn't good enough. This group supported the V-Chip they claim doesn't work I only saw one video on YouTube about how the V-Chip works.
I wonder how many use the V-Chip on the TV? I think not much use it plus you have parental controls it isn't good enough for The PTC. I didn't like the person picked for The FCC I wouldn't have liked anyone whoever gets picked again you have to have a fifth person on The FCC so get the person on The FCC and get it over with.

How Biden's FCC nominee became a major campaign target
How Biden's FCC nominee became a major campaign target
WASHINGTON - Nearly two years into President Biden's term, he and Senate Democrats have yet to lock down a majority at the Federal Communications Commission amid a protracted fight over his pick for the agency, Gigi Sohn. Progressive groups and consumer advocates have lamented the delay as...
The view is now that the Dems have a real majority, they will get some of these stalled appointments through the Senate. Some appointments had been deadlocked in committee because of the 50/50 senate. Conservatives complain that Sohn is partisan, but Trump appointee Nathan Simington is also an activist on the other side of the issues. She would simply balance him.
They also had Ajit Pai in their back pockets throughout Trump's presidency. They can't always have all the toys, every time. Sometimes the other side needs some, too. GD kids...
