"There's a little bug inside of me which wants to get the FCC to say to FOX and to MSNBC: 'Out. Off. End. Goodbye.'

HEY JAY, ONE BIG FAT ROADBLOCK FOR YOU. IT'S CALLED THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO OUR FEDERAL CONSTITUTION, YEAH, THAT THING YOU SWORE TO UPHOLD AND DEFEND. SINCE YOU'VE OBVIOUSLY FORGOTTEN WHAT IT SAYS, I'LL REMIND YOU, EMPHASIZING IN PERTINENT PART WITH BOLD TEXT SO THAT YOUR APPARENTLY DAMAGED BRAIN CAN GRASP WHY YOU CAN'T SILENCE FOX NEWS OR MSNBC.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.UPDATE:

ReplyDeleteSomebody should have told this lib genius that beside the appalling Constitutional implications here, cable networks are not "on the air", duh!
ReplyDeleteThe FCC has no jurisdiction over cable programming, although not for lack of trying... maybe he just can blame his ignorance on some staffer.
I guess jay flunked constitutional law.
ReplyDeleteEither that or he is stupid, bought and paid for by the Hungarian God Father. I bet on the being bought.
