So I’m assuming that Sinclair will be demanding that Tucker apologize and donate and that the FCC will be threatening to cancel his podcast.

    You’re right on the technical points, but you’re completely missing the larger reality, which is corporate and media consolidation. There are a lot of business interests that include some subsidiaries that are subject to the FCC’s regulation, and other subsidiaries that are not. The point is, members of this administration are exerting extortionate pressures that don’t happen in a vacuum.

      No one is coming at this with anywhere near any nuance. They’re just throwing around complaints that they arent doing the same thing to people on their side even when they dont have any control over them anyway.

      It would be like a police cheif cracking down on black drug users in Birmingham Alabama, and then complaining that they dont do the same to the white drug users in New Jersey. Like you are right to criticize the action, but the insinuation that they are responsible for something else that is beyond their direct control is just dumb.

        You’re using different words to repeat yourself without actually addressing the flaw in your argument: it misses the larger picture.

          I didn’t want to reply to the dense troll so I’m answering you instead.

          Do you find it ironic that the commentator is using drugs at an example when we literally in the 80’s and 90’s where we literally had people, including those in law enforcement, advocate how morally wrong it was for harsh punishment against African Americans for crack but let off White people for cocaine, literally the same drug.
