How is it that these senior media executives and owners are too dumb to know that giving the bully your lunch money doesn't make him go away, he'll just come back hungrier?

FCC's Brendan Carr Goes After CNN, Wants 'Accountability' for Iran Coverage

There's no way to stop a bully, especially when he has the entire weight of the federal government & courts helping him.
This. Look, we all know the trite, tedious advice over actual playground bullies. Even as an obvious figure of speech, it fails to capture the gravity of the situation. There are words for this, and “bully” isn’t even close to covering it.
A federal appeals court is demanding the FCC to defend its "news distortion policy," which they say is being used to control speech.

Court Gives FCC 30 Days To Answer Challenge Over News Distortion Policy.
A federal appeals court is forcing the FCC to answer a challenge to its controversial news distortion policy, giving the agency 30 days to respond to a petition from former
Here is this one a new documentary by PBS frontline is out on the Trump Administration. It’s a case of let’s wait and see how the FCC chairman reacts to this one given his record on stuff like this.
Hegseth announces joint task force with DOJ to prosecute leaks to journalists 'with the full force of the law'
Pentagon head Pete Hegseth announced a joint task force with the DOJ to identify and prosecute officials who leak sensitive information to the media.
Hegseth launches Pentagon crackdown on media leaks
Secretary Pete Hegseth says a new Pentagon task force will investigate leaks and expand efforts to identify and prosecute leakers.

Again how does Pete Hegseth or Chairman Carr what those leaks are? We run into the first amendment issue and the National security issue clashing with each other in issues like this. Also it’s about controlling the press pool and investigations at the pentagon get political interference when they are supposed to be separate from the Trump Administration.
The fact of the matter is the president himself is the biggest leaker. He tells the world what the military is doing every day. I doubt that he asks for clearance. He determines if it's classified. However, he doesn't use the independent media or even the government press office.. He uses his personally-owned social media site that he profits from. So he competes with the media that his government is seeking to shut down. He's using this "joint task force" to eliminate competition so he is the only source of information. This is not only unconstitutional, but it's a form of monopoly.
They make it up.
The first amendment is enshrined in the constitution. They don’t care.
The “independence” ship sailed. And sank.
True too! and demands for propaganda are at play here. We need to wait for Chairman Carr response to the things Hegseth said in the tweet to find out how crazy it is going to be.
The grossly unqualified alcoholic running the department of defense will just continue to shout "warrior!" in every sentence about whatever bugaboo he has going. Carr is the mafioso nerd who chimes in when he feels like stirring the pot.
However...if published reports by Reuters and others are accurate about the "substance" (and that term is used very loosely) of tomorrow night's scheduled toddler rant are accurate, Petey and Brendan will take a backseat to a whole other level of craziness.
Given that the networks refused Obama and Biden time for political speeches, they should follow precedent and go on airing reruns of Dancing with the SemiStars or whatever other summer dreck they have.
Brendan Carr is a clown. Especially how he constantly goes apeshit over, of all shows, "The View." Granted, The View is a terrible show, but ABC shouldn't be strong-armed by the FCC over it.
If the Democrats take over Congress in November, I'd like to see Carr subpoenaed over this. And more importantly, why he doesn't apply pressure upon IHeart, Cumulus, Salem, etc. for all the right-wing agitprop they pollute the radio dials with. Carr doesn't get challenged, but I want to see that whiny runt sweat in a Democrat-led hearing.

Perfect. No notes. 😉
because it fits his/their agenda.. thats why no one goes after the right wing lies/garbage/hate on the radio. its ok, the rest is fake news
But this is why changes under this administration removing the FCC as an independent agency, and making it a tool of the president, makes the entire Communications Act unconstitutional. Because the decisions being made are more about serving a political agenda than serving the public interest.
Does something being unlawful or unconstitutional ever stop this adminsitration? Nope.
True too but it’s wishful thinking for now until proven otherwise. Yes its all about the White House controlling the definition of “Speech” while violating the 1st amendment as seen in the Pete Hegseth and Chairman Carr announcements.
But it's why if any action is taken against ABC or CNN having to do with programming content, it will be challenged as unconstitutional.
and as long as their in power, we'll lose that argument
Not if it goes to a judge
Judge rules Trump's NPR and PBS funding cuts violate First Amendment
A federal judge blocked an executive order by President Donald Trump that cut funding for National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service.

i have zero faith in any judges or law in this country that has to rule against the administration
