Congressman Calls for the FCC to investigate Super Bowl Show by going after NFL and NBC Sports

As long as there is no followup by either Congress or the White House, @K.M. Richards' statement "..much ado about nothing" will remain correct.
I hope this FCC threat gets canceled soon. However Chairman Carrs history says otherwise each time an FCC threat is issued it's always making everything political.

More likely, as soon as this dies down, Carrtoon and the idiot-in-chief will find something else that they will threaten to "investigate".
The only reason I know of Bad Bunny

No.
Many people in the A and B socioeconomic levels do listen to stations with some or all music in English. But in the C, D and E economic levels, few do. And that is where 80% of the population is found. They listen to Spanish language music genres, including whatever is the "country music" of their region (norteña and banda in Mexico, vallenato in Colombia, merengue and bachata in the Dominican Republic, etc) as well as pop in Spanish. And for the under 30 group, in much of Latin America it is reggaetón and its derivatives.
Yeah, an arena of 50,000 or so in Mexico City which has a population of around 21,000,000. Do the math.
To be fair, if an arena has a capacity of 50,000 "or so," even the biggest Mexican, Spanish-speaking-only, wide-appeal-to-the-lower-classes act in all of Latin America wouldn't attract more to that arena than Taylor Swift or Queen did. It's a straw man argument to say "do the math."
Given what’s happened already, it’s entirely plausible. He will destroy anything to get his way.
Keeping the toddler from throwing more tantrums is all well and good, but I think we’re missing the larger issue: they absolutely want to run roughshod over our rights. This has been the goal for a long, long time. If at some point the proverbial grim reaper comes for the lead imbecile, as he does for every single one of us at some point, the decimation of our rights isn’t going to taper off.
Tangerine Twittler is a symptom. An especially vile one to be sure. But the actual disease that propelled him to power is a metastasized cancer in our society.
Indeed.
Sadly, I foresee the increasingly political nature of the posts in this thread leading to the proprietors of this forum running roughshod over our rights (of which we actually have none when it comes to use of a private website) and locking this thread down soon, which, sadly, is their right to do.
‘Utterly Useless’: Republican Randy Fine Ruthlessly Mocked Over Call for Investigation Into Bad Bunny Halftime Show
Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) is facing a bipartisan backlash over his call for a Federal Communications Commission investigation into Bad Bunny.

Here is more fallout from congressman Randy Fine who requested the FCC to investigate the Super Bowl Halftime show.
Republican Snowflake Wants Congress To Investigate Bad Bunny "Smut" Show
Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles called Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show "gay pornography" and demanded a congressional investigation.
allhiphop.com
And yes here’s more on Congressman Ogles who started all of this gets labeled a snowflake in this op-ed.
Hope Comcast owned KNTV and KSTS licenses are not questioned given all of the issues surrounding these members of Congress demanding Chairman Carr to respond to the halftime show. And even if Chairman Carr really did yank licenses of Comcast owned NBC and Telemundo affiliates, Comcast can make the content they have rights to only seen on Peacock app. But then again it’s all about allies of Carr, Trump, Ogles and Fine wanting to censor stuff they are offended with.
Randy Fine. Ready, Fire, Aim:

It's always fun to watch someone who says they couldn't understand a word then say---"but it was dirty!"
Get the Congressman a 45 of "Louie Louie". That'll keep him out of our hair for months.

Rep. Khanna names 6 men he says were redacted from Epstein files for "no apparent reason"
Two lawmakers are accusing the government of improperly redacting some people's names from the Epstein files, including six men whose identities are now public.
www.cbsnews.com
Some of this has to be about distracting their states from stuff like this. Ro Khanna is a House Rep whose district covers Levi’s Stadium and NBC’s San Jose office did this name the people on the Epstein list with Trump.
Geez as always the Dog whistle hides another meaning we didn't think existed or connect directly. We spotted the racism and anti-LGBT part of the argument when these two members of Congress house reps Fine and Ogles decided to get the FCC involved.

And of course the other party has never done such a thing. 🙄
So that makes it right?
(this could be fascinating, disgusting or both)
Exactly which culture has "the other party" attempted to regulate?
This gets back to why the administration requires "English Only." At some point, the FCC will carry out the president's executive order in the way they've stipulated that any DEI is dropped. Same thing, with the same basis in law. The congressmen are complaining that the halftime show was in Spanish. They could easily use the same logic about Univision. Or conversely, Comcast/NBC and the NFL could use Univision as part of their defense.
Giving people bodily autonomy and allowing them to marry whom they wish apparently regulated people into forced gay marriages followed by abortions.

The congressman is concerned about song lyrics that promote the use of cocaine:

Kid Rock has come under fire for lyrics from a 2001 song that resurfaced, where he said, "I like 'em underage."
