Hmm. Does the FCC actually have the authority to do that?
I mean, I don't know the details of the thing here, but their authority really extends just over what goes out over the air. I don't think that they have any special authority over the inner workings of companies, just because they happen to be in the news business.
the president doesn't give a fuck. the fcc is just going to be the minitru going forward
They can ask for it, but that doesn't mean that CBS has to do it, and if they want to take it to the courts, then they're going to need to have a legal argument.
It doesn’t matter if they have a legal argument. They want to scare the execs at ~~CBS~~ Paramount so that ~~CBS~~ Paramount capitulates and gives in, just like ABC did.
And guess what?
It’s working.
Some people really need to go study the rise of the Third Reich. They will be feeling like they have deja vu.
You best start believing in thick chapters in the history book. You’re in one.
Good reading: “Maus” by Art Spiegelman, “Night” by Elie Wiesel.
