They have now reversed the reversal of their original position.

Its like a clown show at this poimt.

Also, we’ll never know, but I’d bet if he knew the outcome in advance, he might have altered his position a bit. It’s easy to have a view that you don’t think will affect you.

You know, while I’m not opposed to the idea that broadcast stations shouldn’t be deceptive in their news reporting, for some reason I can’t help but suspect that regulatory attempts to enforce such a guideline might be uneven under the current regime.

I’m just waiting for the administration to get its act together around the party line of “it’s not a war; it’s a special military operation.”

Well at least that is better than this:

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) on Monday downplayed the economic repercussions of the U.S. military campaign against Iran, describing the widening conflict as a “short-term experience.”

Drunken War Dude demands Pravda like coverage of the war.

Can’t let rank and file service members get accurate reporting.

This outright rejection of the facts about what is happening in the Iran war, combined with Carr’s statement about revoking licenses for media that post inaccurate news reports, should worry everyone.

Hmm, perhaps he should go after the companies that make AI tools. That would certainly make the US great again!

I’m sure Newsmax won’t lose their license with reports like this.

We watched Wag the Dog a few nights ago. That one was about a fake war to distract from scandal. Look how far we’ve come.

Another example: if you are a media outlet and ever say anything critical about the admin or Dear Leader, you are fake news and the government will shut you out and refuse to deal with you. It must all be glorious praise for Dear Leader.

They’ll lose in court over this again, but manage to bar any reporters for a few more months that won’t provide free propaganda

I’m shocked! Shocked, I say!

Every day I am grateful that she isn’t my governor.

Freedom of the Press means the press is free to only ask questions that are approved by Dear Leader
