I know they do not have the power to violate the United States Constitution.
Jimmy Kimmel’s short-lived ratings spike comes to screeching halt
- Thread starter ziggy
- Start date
So using profanity on the public airways is OK?
Kimmel can be stopped by the FCC if he continues to operate, not in the public interest.
He has been warned, next a visit by the FCC.
So, if a Democratic president's FCC commissioner declared all of Fox's political programing is against the Public INterest, he could yank their licence?
It's not been violated, the FCC was given power to regulate the content on the public airwaves.
If its political speech, for sure. Nobody has challenged it, but if you come from the opinion that these rights are absolute, the profanity would be Constitutionally protected.
He is still doing what Trump demanded he stop doing... and is not shut down.
Who gave them the power? Are congressional actions not limited by the 1St Amendment?
So if Congress created a Gun Control Commission, that banned assault rifles, that would be Constitutional?
Try to understand this, the content of the public airways is the purview of the FCC.
The public airwaves are regulated, by law, by the FCC.
If, if, if...is that all you have? .
Read the FCC Act of 1934, as amended.
You are posting from a position of ignorance, as usual.
That's what I thought, you won't answer my question.
Anything public cannot be regulated, relating to speech, by the government. They are prohibited by the clear language of the First Amendment.
Has he made anymore statements about the political persuasion of the shooter?
Yes, why do you ask?
Your answer is in the Act. Read it dummy.
What did he say?
Does the act supercede the First Amendment?
I do not know off hand, but it does not matter, the First Amendment allows to utter what others things are lies, the First Amendment Says so.
Trump lies on the airways all the time.
