They brought him back because he was under suspension not outright fired. Conservatives and Trump read to much into the decision
The "public interest" requirement is a bad law and Carr's actions were clearly unconstitutional interference with free speech.Don't you just love the power of calling for someone's removal because you think he has done something unforgivable? Apparently what Charlie did was even more unforgivable because he was cancelled permanently by someone who thinks like you.
If you object to a particular law, you should be blaming Congress for passing the law rather than the Executive branch for enforcing it. The Executive branch does not get to pick and choose which laws it should enforce. The Constitution isn't a suggestion, neither are laws passed by Congress. There is no "use your own judgement" qualification in the Constitution.
It is not in the public interest for public figures to lie to the public. The accumulated weight of lies spread by broadcast TV should result in every license being pulled if we are going to use "lie" as the criterion. The problem with this one test though is "did the person know he was lying?". If it was an honest mistake, then an apology should be forthcoming. If it was a malicious, intentional lie, no apology will be offered.
"bad law" is only your opinion because it seems to be directed at someone you favor. Removing Trump and many other conservatives was OK in your book. Your hypocrisy is showingThe "public interest" requirement is a bad law and Carr's actions were clearly unconstitutional interference with free speech.
YouTube has also joined in, allowing censored conservatives back on their platform. Google, Facebook and YouTube have all admitted to censoring the right on behalf of the Biden administration, shocker.Those on the left went apoplectic when Kimmel and Colbert get caught-up in the free-speech dust-up.
Yet, under the Biden administration, those on the left appeared to be all in favor of suppressing free-speech under the guise of "disinformation" and/or "hate speech" Google has now joined the parade of those admitting to suppressing free-speech. The likes of Kimmel and Colbert will continue to play the victim card falsely claiming to support free-speech, never apologizing for their suppression of free-speech.

Google Admits Censorship Under Biden; Promises to End Bans of YouTube Accounts of Thousands of Americans Censored for Political Speech
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, thanks to the oversight of Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Google commits to offer all creators previously kicked off YouTube due to political speech violations on topics such as COVID-19 and elections an opportunity to return to the platform.judiciary.house.gov
Maybe the people infected with TDS will now recognize how the press has manipulated their opinion of Trump by their constant negative attacks. Maybe Trump isn't really the evil orange man. Maybe he's just a stand up comedian who has a misunderstood sense of humor.Google, Facebook and YouTube have all admitted to censoring the right on behalf of the Biden administration, shocker.

I say that because the left always takes Trump's jokes as Gospel. He jokes that he's going to be a tyrant on day 1 and they go crazy because they think he's let them in on some secret plan when he's frequently just feeding them back their opinions.who has a misunderstood sense of humor.
and I think he did clearly say, "trying to convince themselves the shooter was anything other than MAGA", which is the equivalent of saying was Maga. It truly was a stupendously, horrifically foolish thing to say, but it's still qualifies as an opinion, and ought to be protected free speech. I don't want to have my opinions censored, no matter how outlandish YOU think they areI guess "not anything other than MAGA" does not mean "MAGA" in your version of English.

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”
When did the FCC threaten to revoke licenses under Biden? The actions of the affiliate networks were caused by concerns that proposed mergers would not be approved, another dangerous discretionary power. It censorship even when the government punishes speech indirectly."bad law" is only your opinion because it seems to be directed at someone you favor. Removing Trump and many other conservatives was OK in your book. Your hypocrisy is showing
Free speech applies only to the government censoring people. ABC suspended Kimmel because of the revolt of their affiliates not because the FCC told them to.
Additionally, since the airways belong to the public, the broadcasters who use them MUST follow the rules established by the FCC. I personally agree that government agencies shouldn't be making "law". But I mean ALL government agencies, not just the ones I don't agree with.
The airways are "public" property. A licenses to use the airways is a temporary (property) right granted by the government. As with many "public" resources, the government serves the purposes of managing them for the "public" benefit.The idea that the airways belong to the "public" (by which you mean government) is socialist nonsense. The licenses are private property.
Where have you been? The Biden administration was all about suppressing the free speech rights of conservatives. Virtually all the social media platforms such as Twitter (now X), Google, and Facebook have admitted to being coerced by the Biden administration into suppressing free speech. The Biden administration even attempted to create an Orwellian "Ministry of Truth" (Disinformation Governance Board). Also look at all the horrific and illegal attempts by Democrats to de-platform Trump from running for President under the guise of the 14th Amendment.When did the FCC threaten to revoke licenses under Biden? ... It censorship even when the government punishes speech indirectly.
This is a fundamentally socialist statement. Property rights are not "granted" by the government, they are recognized and protected by the government. Property rights exist as a matter of natural law.The airways are "public" property. A licenses to use the airways is a temporary (property) right granted by the government. As with many "public" resources, the government serves the purposes of managing them for the "public" benefit.
You seem to have drifted a little bit on this one Isaac.the whole 'fascism' thing is just a manifestation of the reality that Gen Z has some legitimate struggles in comparison with older generations when it comes to economics, such as wages vs. housing costs being one of the biggest, along with foolish decisions they made to get 100k in debt for a 4 year degree, rather than getting scholarships and going to community college.
as a result of that, they're bitter at more $ successful people. It's that simple. That contrast, in their view, proves "fascism".
We're all fascists if you own a home with a full 2 car to in the suburbs, and you support the continued economics that makes that possible for you, you're a fascist.
Well, he certainly is a clown.Maybe the people infected with TDS will now recognize how the press has manipulated their opinion of Trump by their constant negative attacks. Maybe Trump isn't really the evil orange man. Maybe he's just a stand up comedian who has a misunderstood sense of humor.
What i meant was that MAGA adopted many of the pre WWII tactics of propaganda, and actions, that facilitated the rise of Hitler. Much more than many Conservatives are willing to admit. So when people like me (older middle class Boomers) use the term, we are not coming from a place of envy, we were all born in a world that still had many mangled Americans walking around from their efforts to thwart Fascism.Huh, no i've always come down pretty hard on generations that complain about starting at the bottom - we all did.
Though I do recognize some hard cold facts regarding wages vs. housing costs in many cities - but no where near all or even most cities -
That is one of the most important propaganda tools in use by MAGA, they do evil, and then blame it on Dems,
The FCC under Biden was totally on board with lying about Trump. Why would they threaten anyone? The administration did threaten the social media companies with legislation if they didn't censor conservatives, especially Trump. Does that count?When did the FCC threaten to revoke licenses under Biden?
All of this "disinformation" turned out to be true. Where is the apology for getting that wrong and endangering the public with the pseudo science they were pushing as reality?Jen Psaki, then Biden's White House Press Secretary, according to Grok: "Publicly called out Meta in July 2021 for not doing enough on COVID misinformation, listing specific steps platforms should take, including flagging the "Disinformation Dozen" for removal."
And the airwaves are a property belonging to us all. Therefore the government administers access to them to prevent chaos. Without regulation, you end up with broadcasters stepping on each others chosen frequency or blowing a competitor off the air by broadcasting on a very close frequency. Congress has abdicated its law making power to federal agencies. Blame the whole mess on Congress when individual agencies overstep their "boundaries" which Congress never seems to set.This is a fundamentally socialist statement. Property rights are not "granted" by the government, they are recognized and protected by the government. Property rights exist as a matter of natural law.
OMGMAGA Fascism is real, much more than Liberalism is Communist.
Interestingly, they are absolutely correct. Trump has destroyed "their" democracy. Which is a good thing for the rest of us since OUR Constitution defines a Republic and "their" democracy is as Stalinist as it gets. "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime". Justice is not blind in their world. Lady Justice determines your guilt or innocence by which boxes you check. I don't want to live in "their" "democracy". It is a perversion.The Dems blame Trump for destroying "their" democracy and have hysterical breakdowns on social media, publicly viewable tantrums because the poor babies suddenly aren't getting their way.
THEY are the reason Trump won. He was so easy to beat and the Dems were too dumb and crazed by TDS to see how to do it. They believed their own lies and convinced themselves that their anointed candidates could do it. Biden did succeed but he had a lot of help from his friends as they harvested ballotsthey can't even look in the mirror and see that their actions are the cause of their own defeat.
