Does Rev. Al get a pass because he's a cartoon character?

He noted that the law requires that the FCC only grant broadcast licenses to people of "good character."If that's the standard, I would think FOX should be less concerned than say, NBC.
If the Six Pillars of Character; Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship; are taken in to account; then MSNBC is a miserable failure.
Who controls the FCC?

Why does the FCC have any regulatory authority over cable? It’s not radio spectrum, it’s privately owned wiring.
To: ColdOne
Go ahead. We can get rid of Shemp, Whorealdo and Juan that way.

Its hardly “horrific”. Phone hacking isn’t even illegal in the UK. This is a contrived “scandal” started by the Marxist “Guardian” to bring down Murdock’s conservative empire and silence that voice.

Do you think the people who were fired up by the Tea Party would just sit around and watch Dear Leader shut down one of the only news outlets that isn’t completely in the bag for Obama?
If they tried to shut down Fox News, it would spell the death of the Democrat party in every governing body in the country.

They GOTTA say stuff like this. Nothing will come of it, of course. I agree. If they say nothing is going to happen to Fox, the screeching liberals will hound them day and night.
They'll have OWS losers crapping in their lobby and breaking windows.

Then I want ABC’s licenses pulled for the overtly political Robin Roberts interview.

And Beck...oh, wait.
It wouldn’t work anyway. Juan will be hired by CNN, Geraldo by MSNBC and Shep by Bravo.

Go ahead Genachowski, you do that. And then, you better revoke MSNBC’s license too.

He noted that the law requires that the FCC only grant broadcast licenses to people of good character. Too bad Obumble and his fellow Dumbocrats don't think the same standard should apply to marriage licenses.

Looks like Shemp’s, Whoraldo’s, Juan’s and OBloviator’s schilling is not enough payola for Fox.

Its hardly horrific. Phone hacking isnt even illegal in the UK. Oh that's just silly.
It would certainly be news to Clive Goodman and Glenn Mulcaire, who both plead guilty to illegally intercepting phone messages and spent time in prison for the crime.
And the illegality is hardly the horrific part. It's ethically reprehensible.
Would you object to MSNBC or the NY Times intercepting your private phone messages?

They went to prison for lying to police and conspiracy.
MSNBC and the NYT have nothing to do with anything. If its so "horrific" why isn't it illegal? Since all the tabs have been doing it for years, how is it that its just now a "scandal". Piers Morgan used "reporters" who did it when he was editor of the Sun and the Daily Mail and The News of the World. Its in his book. Why isn't he being battered and dragged thru the streets of London?
Because this was a story that surfaced and was investigated years ago. The Guardian, backed by the UK leftists gave it new life in order to destroy Murdock.

So the FCC should have yanked SeeBS’s license after Dan Rather Liberal reported the “false but accurate” reports about W?
