“The FCC chair is clearly undertaking an effort to bully and intimidate independent journalism, which is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes where democracy is under siege,” said one critic.

      i expect to get ratio’d for bringing any semblence of balance to the discussion here. i’m no trump apologist, but democrats still have a lot to answer for, too.

        Yes you are. Anytime you say ‘both sides are the same’, you’re just excusing the ways this administration is making things so much worse.

        The Democrats suck, but saying they’re both the same despite drastic differences in magnitude is carrying water for trump to minimize the changes they’re making.

          no, i’m not. i’m sick of the democrats only having energy when they’re out of power-- they chose to support genocide and bypass democracy to appoint their defacto choice for successor.

            Yes, you are. It’s fine to take them to task, but don’t minimize the shit that’s going on now with that dismissive and objectively incorrect bullshit. It makes you look ignorant and uninformed about things when you incorrectly say they’re the same when they’re clearly much worse.

            But whatever, I’m sick of arguing with BoTh SiDeS bullshit people. Bye.

        we are like 11 days in and have already become more officially fascist than not, and you think the painfully tiresome wHaTaBoUt bullshit is “balance” because you say it is? GTFO
