It's that pesky old 1st Amendment. I know, I know, life would be so much better if government could dictate that only leftish flavored statist
rhetoric were allowed on the air. But until the Constitution is scrapped or amended, we must suffer Democratic opposition having a voice.
And don't forget Matt Drudge, with all his whistle blowing. It causes so much grief. Recall how poor Bill Clinton suffered when his distracting
dalliances were outed. The other media cooperated to keep a lid on them. Curse that danged free press!
Fox News was pretty "statist" for 8 years when Bush was in the Whitehouse, but that really is just a small drop in the bucket compared to everything they've done.
The FCC is very clear on the responsibilities of broadcasters. Specifically, firms must be run by people of "good character", who serve the "public interest", and speak with "candor". News Corp who owns Faux has none of these.
They have been involved in bribery, wire fraud, invaison of privacy, and much more. Furthermore fearmongering and broadcasting hate against the President doesn't seve the public interest. News disbursal media has a sacred responsibility to impart news in an as accurate and unbiased format as possible. FOX News and all of its subsidiaries have always been very lackadaisical with ethics and integrity but as of late they have relinquished even the pretense of truthfulness and accuracy in reporting.
In fact the only moral thing to do is to revoke their license to broadcast in the United States based on their illegal, unethical and egregious behavior. The same way PressTV had their broadcasting licenses revoked in Europe.
