The Federal Communications Commission will vote to repeal the National Television Ownership Rule that is supposed to prevent a single broadcast station owner from reaching more than 39 percent of all TV households in the US. The proposed change sets up a likely court battle over the FCC claim that it has authority to repeal a limit set by Congress.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has already treated the rule as more of a suggestion. In March, the Carr FCC granted a waiver allowing Nexstar Media Group to buy Tegna in a deal that let it reach over half of TV households. The Carr FCC argued that Congress gave it authority to modify or waive the rule.
Carr now plans to repeal the 39 percent limit and replace it with a “case-by-case review” of each proposed merger, the chairman announced today in an op-ed published on Breitbart. The change would make it easier for the FCC to pick and choose which station groups get to surpass the limit. Under Carr, this would likely benefit news companies that provide favorable coverage for President Trump.
Y’all Fascists are bound to lose.
I really dont think so. We’ve never seen this level of technology integrated with fascism. We’ve imagined it. And in our imagining we assumed that we would win because thats the story we want to believe. That good will always ultimately win.
I dont think so. We’re looking at the tools for a 1000 year dynasty. I don’t know that it will be the US, but someone is going to use this tech to rule the world and when it finally happens I dont see an avenue for resistance.
Just other wealthy fudalist techno-fascists using their control to have us killing each other and ignoring a dying world.
The levels of absolute insane corruption in USA is something I thought we’d never see. Yet here we are, all rolled out in just year and a half of Donald. Either Murica will clamp on this so hard it will never ever repeat or they’ll just become a dictatorship pretending to be democracy.
Technically, it all started in 2016. Mango 1.0 was the dry run, they left the US government in so much disarray with departments in shambles, documents erased, that it took the 2020-2024 Biden admin almost the entire 4 years to fix up all the destruction. They didn’t even get an FCC chair appointed until almost the end of his term.
Due to that, they didn’t have any time to actually put more safeguards in place. Subsequently, voters that didn’t keep up on things also thought they weren’t doing anything for that whole term, as they did a very poor job of advertising their progress.
Meanwhile, 2020-2024 the doll-toucher and pervert “conservative” pedophile friends drafted all their Project plans to try and make another attempt at destroying American more effective.
Although, Dems were also arrogant enough to think they’d win again, and that whole party is like that South Park episode of San Francisco hybrid drivers smelling their own farts instead of living in reality. Couple in Natty Lite Yahoo tossing his genocide in the mix to make voters stray and get his rocks off on pain, suffering, and death, as he loves to do.
That’s just the last 10 years. Going further back there were other moves of evil, everything just aligned tight enough this round to make a truly concerted effort.
One must also factor in that Mango doesn’t know how to run anything, which really helped. Treating DC like his personal swamp trailer park.
Americans are starting to drop Flock cameras (even Los Angeles) and/or destroy them across the country. AI datacenters are being hated and stopped before they can even start. All necessary to stop the surveillance state perspective. The most powerful part here, is that hatred of Flock and AI is transcending party lines which might finally get Americans unified in a common hate again. (Which is really the only way America ever gets things done.)
Magats are waking up that the flim-flammer Mango is just a con man. It’s trending in a good direction. Corpo media still thinks they can avoid talking about the reality, but as millions of Americans (over 10mil this year I believe so far) lose their jobs with no replacements, people are spending way less. That media can accelerate the correction, and likely will once they are reminded where their money comes from.
Meanwhile, the 1929 market crash is on its way, only from the bottom up instead of the top down, which will be infinitely harder to recover from.
Good times!

Pretty much the GOPedo playbook: Fuck so much shit up during your term to where if you lose the election, Dems have to spend the majority of their term cleaning up your mess, not actually helping Americans with their actual needs, those Americans feel abandoned, then they listen to the words of the next GOPiss candidate that drip like honey, and we’re back at Step 1.
the opening up of media to oligarch control started under clinton actually, iirc.
it’s a big club and we’re not in it
Telecommunications Act of 1996
It’s not a country anymore, and it’s important that people figure that out.
I mean, the definition of a “country” doesn’t really have a minimum or maximum level of corruption needed to be called one or anything like that so that’s a bit silly.
Unless you mean the US as the country we knew is gone which would make more sense but even then, a lot of people would argue that this is what the US has always been like but that it’s just now more emboldened
“A country is a language or dialect with borders and an army” - As long as the US continues to meet those definitions they continue to be a country. Democracy however will likely die in the US though.
I’m fully expecting the U.S. to be Russia 2.0 by the time I die. Probably well before that.
This will be even more devastating to the small bit of democracy left.
That’s the plan!
Fascists capturing the media.
Wish there was some way we could know how that turns out.
