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

Hey, TASS made it in today. Not the AP or Reuters. But sure…it was an “accident.”
Accused? He is. This isn’t a two sides issue.
It furthers the opinion that today's tantrum was a show aimed at Putin
It most certainly was. It was a show of subservience that was broadcast across the globe.
Ridiculous.. Ukrainian Radio ain't happening eh..Per Inside Radio, the Trump administration wants greater supervision of agency policy decisions.
Trump Moves To Have Final Say On All FCC Decision-Making.
FCC Chair Brendan Carr has closer ties to the White House than any of his modern-era predecessors. But the Federal Communications Commission will be under even tighter control under anwww.insideradio.com
"...the Federal Communications Commission will be under even tighter control by Trump under an executive order signed by the President, which says independent executive agencies, including the FCC, will be under more presidential “supervision and control.” That includes a requirement that the FCC submit all draft regulatory actions for approval before they are made official with publication in the Federal Register."
And among the reactions is this: "Free Press Co-CEO Craig Aaron says Trump’s executive order is a “blatant abuse of executive power” and Congress created the independent federal agencies so that they would be free from undue interference and influence by any single administration or political party."
Watch Fox News and of course it's a different story.
Absolutely. Brett Baier interviewed Zelenskyy today and told him he embarrassed his country.
The idea of the US siding with Ukraine is not what Fox News viewers want. Their viewers already voted for who they want to win.
And do any of you find it interesting that within mere minutes of the so-called conference ending, Russia launched an attack on Odessa?
Was it planned or just a coincidence? I'm not sure.

To clarify what happened yesterday, because we've been talking about pool coverage: This was a pool story. Not open to the full press corps. There's not enough room in the oval for the full white house press. Chosen media members were brought into the oval office for what is usually just a photo op. Something the TV stations can use for what is called "B-roll," video of the people chatting. There usually aren't questions asked during these things. But someone shouted a question at the president about trusting the Russians. The president said he trusts the Russians, Zelenskyy says he doesn't. That's what set the whole thing off. The meeting was over, lunch was canceled, the mineral deal signing didn't happen, and Zelenskyy was told to leave. All during the pool media photo op. Shared with the world press. As the president said at the end, "This is great TV." And the media pool was ushered out.
Early in the photo op a conservative commentator in the room said something to Zelenskyy about his clothing. He wasn't wearing a suit & tie. He was dressed the way he's dressed since the start of the invasion. Apparently that was seen as a lack of respect for the oval office. Someone should tell Elon about this dress code, because he wears his "Tech Support" t-shirt and maga baseball cap.

And what I saw on TV was Trump being disrespectful.
One might ask how they got into what is supposed to be a secure area:
Of course, neither the AP nor Reuters were allowed to be there.
Even Fox Star Reporter Is Blasting White House’s Move to Decide Who Covers Trump
Senior correspondent Jacqui Heinrich wrote on social media that the decision gives more power to the White House, not the people.
Now a Fox News correspondent responds to the issue about the White House outright blocking AP, Reuters and HuffPost at Oval office meetings. Yes the first amendment is at play here. Let's hope Trump himself does not call for a Fox News Correspondent to get fired like what we seen in the past when Neil Cavuto was at Fox News and the network aired aired a segment Trump does not like.

Fox News host Jesse Watters wanted Fox News colleague Neil Cavuto canned, according to a newly released text message obtained by Confider.

And that was what made it kind of curious before knowing the s—tshow had taken place when ABC abruptly went to a special report (local news being interrupted here) talking about a meeting in the Oval Office. That unusually perfunctory posing, certainly not “special report” worthy in 99% of cases. And then they quickly jumped to to the footage…and holy hell did that make for some interesting and terrifying lunchtime TV viewing.
Correct, I probably should have said that this wasn't fed out live. The pool recorded it and then fed it out. So the anchors knew what had happened by the time it was shown.
Yes this is not shocking given where we been in the past decade. It subsequently showed TASS being removed from the White House Press Pool.
There's a new bill in congress aimed at the role of the president in FCC actions:
