Trump Moves To Have Final Say On All FCC Decision-Making

The ring-kissing media outlets of the administration’s choosing will most assuredly not do actual journalism.

Did you watch the press conference Thursday with the president & prime minister? No ring kissing there. Lots of hard questions that the president ignored. The prime minister even got a few digs in. Just because you have access to him doesn't mean he will answer your question.

And hey, with the decimation of NOAA/NWS, this move ensures no media outlets will be holding the administration accountable for the guaranteed, assured consequences of their actions which will absolutely result in preventable deaths.

The government doesn't "guarantee" NOAA information.

Sure, sure. Newsmax, OAN and the like will really throw hard questions at him. We’re talking the press briefings where the major outlets are being systematically replaced by ring kissers. The access is being dismantled. Let’s not pretend that because it hasn’t been competed today that it isn’t happening in front of our eyes.

Yeah…I think I’ll take the word of actual experts who know damn well the disaster this will cause. Advance warnings will be compromised. Data relied upon by private and public entities alike will disappear. This is going to kill people needlessly. Come on. Don’t be obtuse about this.

No. The white house doesn't control the press invited by the prime minister. A member of the foreign press asked the president if he would apologize to the Ukranian president for calling him a dictator. The president didn't answer.

My favorite question was to the prime minister, asking him if the king has said anything about Canada becoming the 51st state.

We’re talking the press briefings where the major outlets are being systematically replaced by ring kissers.

I expect those briefings to be stopped. They did that during the first administration. This new press secretary looks like an AI caricature. She says nothing. The real news happens behind the scenes, not in press briefings.

Come on. Don’t be obtuse about this.

Bob Dylan said "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." You want to sue the government? Make my day.

I'm assuming there will be no EAS since no one will have the authority to activate it for weather emergencies.

You're assuming anyone is left at DHS who knows what that is. The states have access to EAS if needed.

The new EAS is Kristi Noam dressing up in a flack jacket and holding a news conference.

Start with the assumption that these people are entertainers, not public servants.

The difference between Kristi and immigrants: She only kills dogs; she doesn't eat them.

Same is true of Trump. Maybe he'll start a new version of "The Apprentice." Every week a cabinet meeting on TV and at the end each week, he fires a cabinet member.
 
The FCC held its first public meeting yesterday. Not much clarity about their various investigations:


Probably because he now has to get permission from the white house.

One bit of news: DOGE has not yet been to the FCC. But they will cooperate. They have to.

Some humans on this Earth do eat such animals that we call pets and consider members of our families. My wife and I do not eat meat. That is gross.

If you've ever filed an application with the FCC, you will find they have been short staffed for a long time.

True and also there's a Measles scare in Texas. There is also questions on how will the CDC and WHO get reliable data and send it to the press related to a Measles scare while RFK Jr is accused of downplaying Measles deaths.

Here is one of the articles that got HuffPost removed from the White House Press Corp. And it involves a member of Congress questioning RFK Jr. and his response to the Measles Scare.

Remember it’s not only the questions they ask him. The press pool also reports and relays to other outlets what he is saying and doing (as in when he’s on Air Force One). Will these outlets relay is he says or does something embarrassing?

They just did. There was a press pool video of his meeting with the Ukrainian president that devolved into the president shouting at Zelenskyy. All captured on TV, fed out on the pool, and at the end, the president called it "great TV." The trigger to the whole thing appeared to be the VP, not any questions from the press.

What has this got to do with broadcasting?

There is only one person Trump wanted to see that, Putin.

True its also about how do broadcasting entities respond when they are outright being blocked from the White House when I brought that up. Yes most of the time it goes through the FCC but in some cases it's outright the Presidential administration doing that.

It was in response to the AP, Reuters and Huffpost being outright blocked from the Oval Office and it's for airing stuff the administration does not want to hear. AP and Reuters content goes though domestic and international broadcasters who repost their articles and video since they are wire services. Huffpost has their specific audience.
