It’s not that the FCC doesn’t regulate cable, it’s that cable doesn’t have broadcast licenses. No spectrum license to revoke.
The path to regulating a cable TV channel is not a straightforward one in the US. If it was, cable news a la Fox would have been in the crosshairs devades ago.
Voted 99-0 in the Senate.
Good job, Democrats. We know Republicans were pieces of shit, but the reason Democrats’ polling is in the toilet is because of stuff like this.
Yeah, but only because “CBS” doesn’t have a broadcast license, stations do.
Also, cable TV doesn’t use “broadcast licenses”, and IPTV & streaming certainly don’t.
A lot of what Trump does makes sense when you realize his brain ossified in 1982.
Wow, they’re really adding value and innovation and creating jobs…
Why are they protesting Israel? Why is that, Mr Newspaper?
Yup. Decisively
You who could fight, though?
New foreign policy directive: Waaaaaaaaugh!!!
Just reminding everyone that Lutke is a right-wing shitheel, and that he and Shopify explicitly platform, support and make money from Nazism.
Carry on.
Washington, DC.
You know what? If we’d editorialized the news a little more, maybe we wouldn’t have an issue with ascendant fascism?
“Our army needs a warrior culture, not a woke culture” –Pierre Poillievre
That’s the most recent example. Palling around with Canada’s equivalent of the J6ers would be another.
Well, since we’re just giving the money away anyways, why not give it to a public company rather than to rich shareholders and senior executives.
So, what you’re saying is we need a party of dicks fuck both the pussies and the assholes, before the pussies are covered in shit?

Or, hear me out, you could (at the federal level) direct the CMHC build public housing at 1970s levels, and/or (at the provincial level) put rent control back?
How far off of “We have to liberate Americans in Canada from tyrannical French-Canadian rule” are we?
I’m sorry, Harper talked about UBI and banking regulations? The right honourable Stephen Harper? The one who had to be dragged, kicking and screaming by his own caucus, to respond to the 2008 crisis with anything other than austerity?
That Harper?
Wow.
Canadian scientists went through this under Harper. We know what we’re up against.
He’s in a lose-lose situation right now: if he moderates, he stands a better chance at being elected in the general–not a given!–but if he loses his base will eat him alive. He might even lose his seat.
If he leans more into fascism, he’ll still lose the general but might keep his job and his seat.
Poor Pierre. If he hadn’t been a grievance-peddling fascist bootlicker for the last several decades I’d almost feel bad for him. Almost.
