There is no legal way for the FCC to force disney to do anything. This was one man, Carr, talking out of is arse, trying to look hard for his orange daddy. Why anyone would take what he said seriously, I dont know. If Carr had the power to do anything, he would have done it through legal channels. But he didnt. He just said some shit, and everyone pointed to that being the “real reason” because it couldnt possibly just be that disney, a company with a history of throwing talent under the bus, could just want to walk away from him.
Yes, thats what I said. That means that anything they do, cant be done legally, and can fought off easily. Why the fuck are you all so desperate to not be wrong here?
I’ll give this one go just on the off chance you’re being genuine - since you seem to have some sense of rationality to your position.
You’re wrongly underweighting the damage that will get done while the courts correct things. Yes, eventually the courts would restore broadcasting licenses. But there’s appeal after appeal after appeal. That could kill the stations even if ultimately they’d win. And don’t say that the licenses couldn’t be revoked in the first place. They did it to fucking science funding. Funding mandated by Congress just stopped, and Congress did nothing. Sure it’s coming back now. Kind of.
We know how this plays out already. And we can’t even count on the courts. The supreme Court has shown a total disregard for their duty with some of their rulings.
Like the executive order on birthright citizenship. Before the supreme Court the government didn’t even argue the legality. They said nationwide blocking orders were the real problem. The Court agreed.
Or the use of race or language as a cause for ice detention. Blatantly against the forum amendment and the Supreme Court said it’s fine. They’re snatching US citizens for fucks sake.
This is all easily searchable. If you really care about being rational and reasoned, you’ll put in the effort.
This isn’t people desperately trying to be wrong. These are people that have seen what is likely to happen. They’ve updated their priors more accurately than you.
No, he doesnt. If he did, he would have used it. People who can do something, dont make public statements. They just do it. You notice how Trump talks shit 24/7, yet its all that. Talking shit. This Carr dude is the same thing, they all are. All talk, no cock.
But lets say he does, lets say he makes an order to shut down ABC. Congrats, he just gave ABC billions of dollars in law suit money. And they are back on the air anyway, and he most likely goes to playboy prison for abuse of power.
The problem with the culture wars, is that you are all so far gone you dont trust the system. You dont, they dont, all you all think everyone else is cheating. Notice how in 2020, they all said you stole the election? And in 2024, you said they stole it. The system is just fine. Its just as fucked as it always way, but its fine. You can trust it. Its not slooooooowwwwwwwww. At some point, the Epstein files come out. At some point, Trump gets done for raping kids, colluding with a convicted paedophile and giving her a reward for perverting the course of justice(Her crime meant that she had no legal right to be transferred). And the list goes on and on. But eventually, it will all sort itself out. Unless of course, you stop talking about the Epstein files because some dog shit comedian got sacked for not being funny…
Disney was coerced by the federal government via FCC commissioner threats and literally by Donald Trump himself, President the United States.
If you don’t understand what the difference is, you really need to shut the fuck up until you can graduate high school.

It’s astounding how close they are to understanding, and yet…
It really is…
You’re who they’re talking about

What rock have you been living under since January 20th?
Maybe because he’s Chairman of the FCC, and wields enormous power?
No, he doesnt. If he did, he would have used it. People who can do something, dont make public statements. They just do it. You notice how Trump talks shit 24/7, yet its all that. Talking shit. This Carr dude is the same thing, they all are. All talk, no cock.
