Gomez Exits Her Term Defiant as FCC's Future Remains Unclear - Radio Ink

With her term expired and SCOTUS clearing the runway for removal, FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez says she intends to serve for as long as she is able.

Under the Communications Act, Gomez remains at the FCC in holdover status until a Democratic successor is seated or she is renominated by the president for a new term. Many view the latter as unlikely, given Gomez’s sustained public criticism of President Trump and the FCC’s investigations into broadcasters under Chairman Brendan Carr.

And it is always important to respect the point of view or perspective of "the other side" in such situations. What I might like you may detest, but we both have an equal voice in elections.

Personally, I don't mind a polite discussion of POVs other than my own. Where I get upset, and my posts become more strident, is when that discussion turns into personal attacks, including attempts to discredit others by misquoting or deliberately misinterpreting facts about them.

I just went through that yesterday in the thread about KLOS in Los Angeles cutting the third hour of the long-popular Sunday morning "Breakfast With The Beatles". Thankfully, a moderator deleted not only the personal attacks (and some of my more forceful defenses which made no sense out of context, which I appreciate) but also banned the person who attacked me.

But that shouldn't happen. We're all adults here. We should be able to discuss our differences even when we don't agree with them. What we should all do -- but often don't -- is keep an open mind so that the lifelong process of learning can continue.
