I find it interesting in that people want Government to keep Big Biz from acting like they do then the go out and vote Republican which is all for big biz.
4 of the 5 FCC commissioners were appointed by President Obama. And, approved by a Democrat-controlled Senate which could have invoked the "Nuclear Option" (to resist a Republican Filibuster, which we're told is the reasons Dems had to appoint less-than-desirable commissioners).
It's silly to blame Rs for the current makeup of the FCC. If Ds wanted a black-flag, throat-slitting FCC, nothing prevented them from appointing people who would accomplish that goal.
I'm not a big fan of Rs. Nor arguing there is a problem at the FCC. I'm not on board with the Net Neutrality thing. I think social progress occurs through baby steps and compromises. I'm merely addressing the OP who seemed to say there is something wrong with the FCC, and it's the Rs fault. | |
