Gearing up for yet another televised committee hearing to convince people of WHAT? That Donald Trump broke the law? To convince people how dangerous Trump is? Haven't we gone far beyond 9this "convincing" stage? How many times does a jury need convincing that a crook is a crook? I'm weary of televised hearings and endless lines of witnesses coming forward, I'm ready for action. I'm ready for accountability and justice and fuck this hearing after hearing after hearing nonsense. Hearings followed by no action gets old and boring and turns people off. I don't need weeks and months of hearings, the committee had me at "hello and welcome to our first hearing".
Either show me Trump in an orange jump suit, or fucking just forget it.

So much for SS saying it didn’t happen--two witnesses corroborate CH's testimony about Trump getting handsy in the limousine.

But the best part of tonight is Josh Hawley running away in terror from the Capitol insurgents after giving the widely seen fist that helped incite them.

yeah, i was very engaged after watching one of the earlier Tues hearings live.
weeks later and still no action on charging the Orange idiot, i forgot to watch yesterday's prime time hearing on Trump's dereliction of his duty.

Man, Yakety Sax is such a great song, and perfect for pretty much the entire Trump Administration. If Trump runs again that should be his campaigns theme song. Bonus for getting someone to play it live. (For those that don't know, it is a damn near impossible song to play. Boots Randolph was a legend.)

Shit, you are right. Seems SCOTUS has an antiquated definition of "broadcast" instead of the real IT definition.

If Congress can get that changed to broadcast being over the air and internet (networks) standards can be enforced.
I actually agree with how things are now. The reason the FCC requires licenses for broadcast television is it's sent over communal airwaves - all operators are exposed to their transmissions no matter if they want to be or not. Cable is sent over private networks so you only deal with it if you want to and the FCC rightfully has very limited authority over private networks.

Fox News is a malign influence on our society but I think a regulatory answer is worse than the problem.

So we just let propaganda and lies reign? Governments have made the same mistake in history. Haven't we learned from it?

I don't like what they are saying, but govt interference here would infringe on 1A rights. More dangerous IMO.

It's a democracy, we all have that freedom, and the opposition needs to rely on winning ideological debates, not stifling them (esp because they feel like they are losing.)

As others have said, there's a chance that wielding regulatory power to take down Fox News could be abused in the future to suppress the truth. As it stands, it'd be difficult to punish Fox for not covering something; you can't commit libel if you never discussed a story in the first place.

Right now, the best way to deal with Fox is to make its current approach unsustainable. Pressure advertisers for the worst offenders (Hannity et. al.) and push people to watch something else. I don't think we'll get to the point where providers are yanking the channel outright, as with OAN, but money talks — even Fox might change its tune if it's bleeding cash.
