    FCC has no right to censor political ads

    Trump abusing the laws by clogging up the courts with frivolous lawsuits.... naw... of course not. There’s a reason he would wait till now to start doing that.

    -Scare tactic
    -He knows it could put a stop to Biden’s ads for a important period of time if he can get a lawsuit in front of the right judge
    -He knows with limited time there’s no way it’ll get to the Supreme Court in time

    Biden should think about threatening a lawsuit and preparing litigation documents now to call his bluff and see how serious they really are about this.

    I believe this belongs in the "State Media" thread.

    This will never be allowed, he can try all he wants.

    Of course, Trump's campaign has no problem editing a clip to completely mislead the public and reject a cease and desist from the content creator:

    https://kesq.com/money/2020/05/04/c...gn-cease-and-desist-letter-for-misleading-ad/

    The ad takes a segment from CNN’s “The Situation Room” out of context. On March 30, anchor Wolf Blitzer asked Dr. Sanjay Gupta, “Well, is it accurate that if these steps had not been put in place, the stay at home orders, the social distancing orders, as the President said yesterday, it could have been 2 million people down here in the United States?”

    Gupta responded, “I mean, you know, these are all models, Wolf. It’s a little tough to say, but, you know, if you talk about something that is spreading, you know, very robustly throughout a community. You know, two to three times more contagious than flu, and up to 10 times, perhaps even more than that, more deadly than flu, then yes.”

    Blitzer’s question was about “stay at home orders” and social distancing, but in the campaign ad, that portion of his question was omitted. After Blitzer and Gupta are shown on screen, the ad cuts to taped video that invokes Trump’s restrictions on travel from China, like an airport screen showing cancelled flights.

    Blitzer is heard asking, “Is it accurate that if these steps had not been put in place … it could’ve been 2 million people dead here in the United States?” And Gupta is heard saying, “yes.”

    Is it possible that to avoid the headache, a small station(s) may just decide not to air a critical ad, even if nothing is likely to happen?

    Liberals get a little tiny taste of threatened censorship... and erupt... of course conservatives face mass censorship online on a daily basis. If the media were 50/50, instead of 98% biased against conservatives, I wonder if Democrats would even get 20% of the vote?

    Liberals getting red-pilled slowly but surely as they mature and learn how the world actually works...

    Nothing better to do on a Sunday morning than spew bullshit again? I can't read a single thread here without you trolling in it.

    For sure, @Trader_Jorge. Elections have consequences. We are 170 days away from to beginning to recover from the disaster these last fours years have been for American health, American soft power, and civility. I look forward to the retirement of a malignant POTUS and White House.
