Of course you're Fudd, because it seems democrats want to stifle freedom.

Democrats targeting content and control of the Internet, especially from conservative sources, are pushing hard to layer on new regulations and even censorship under the guise of promoting diversity while policing bullying, warn commissioners from the Federal Communications Commission and Federal Election Commission.

Finally making good on long-harbored anger at conservative media, Democrats on the Federal Election Commission voted in secret to punish Fox News' sponsorship of a Republican presidential debate, using an obscure law to charge the network with helping those on stage.

It is the first time in history that members of the FEC voted to punish a media outlet's debate sponsorship, and it follows several years of Democratic threats against conservative media and websites like the Drudge Report.

The punishment, however, was blocked by all three Republicans on the commission, resulting in a 3-3 tie vote and no action. The vote was posted Thursday and is here.

You forgot something.

"The event that sparked Donald Trump's fury against Megyn Kelly apparently also riled Democratic members of the Federal Election Commission, who concluded in a vote last month that Fox News broke the law when it loosened qualification criteria to include more candidates, according to the cable channel."

The case against Fox News — stemming from a complaint by an as-yet-unnamed presidential candidate, according to the Washington Examiner — centers on a decision to lower the bar for entry into what ended up being a doubleheader debate night on Aug. 6. Originally, the event was reserved for the top 10 candidates, as determined by national polls. Two months beforehand, however, Fox added an undercard debate for anyone polling at 1 percent or higher — given the GOP field numbered 17, which was too much for one debate. Then, about a week ahead of the event, the network threw out the 1 percent requirement and invited all declared candidates to participate.

The expansions helped Rick Santorum, Bobby Jindal, Rick Perry, Lindsey Graham, Carly Fiorina, George Pataki and Jim Gilmore, who were outside the top 10. The argument is that Fox effectively made in-kind contributions to those candidates by tweaking the rules in a way that gave them exposure they would not have received otherwise. Fox hasn't issued an official statement on the vote."

At issue was the Aug. 6, 2015 Fox presidential debate. Initially, the network planned to host one debate featuring 10 candidates. But as the date got close and the nearly two dozen GOP presidential candidates were close in the polls, Fox added a second debate that included seven other candidates.

One of the candidates left out filed a complaint to the FEC, charging that Fox was essentially making a contribution to the 17 candidates by letting them have a voice in the debate.


a charge brought by a republican you evil fucking asshole
