The FCC is a part of the Executive Branch of Govt., and FCC Commissioners are apppointed by the President. There are five Commissioners, three from one party and two from the other. Though I suppose it's theoretically possible for a Republican President to appoint three Democrats, Bush didn't do this, which means that ALL FCC business is controlled by the Republicans, via the 3-2 margin. It's also NO coincidence that virtually ALL anti consumer (pro big business) decisions the FCC has made the in past 7 years are/were always by a 3-2 majority, with the three REPUBLICAN Commissioners voting yes and the two Democrats voting no. |
