Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC - Biden’s FCC did go after Fox.
Biden’s FCC went after Sinclair broadcasting too. In fact, the Biden FCC failed to renew hundreds of routine licenses for that broadcaster — something that the agency had never done before.
The Biden FCC also determined and wrote that broadcasters have a “obligation … to take all reasonable measures to eliminate any false, misleading, or deceptive matter.”
At the same time, Democrats in Congress pressured cable companies to drop Fox News, OAN, and Newsmax for their newsroom decisions. And that pressure worked in many cases. Those were cable channels, too, that have no broadcast public interest obligations.
Earlier, Democrats in Congress wrote the FCC and called on it to investigate the news activities of a conservative broadcaster, including under the FCC’s news distortion policy.
Democrats also called on the FCC to block the sale of a radio station in Florida on the grounds that they thought the buyer was conservative, stating “To win in 2022, this must stop!” The sale didn’t go through.
The list goes on and on and I have no doubt that it will go on and on again at some point in the future.
Remind me - which one of these Democrat actions did you consider weaponization and push back on ?

Imagine Biden’s FCC chair going to a left-wing conference and bragging about getting Fox hosts fired and new liberal ownership for rightwing media outlets.

Brian Cates - Political Columnist & Pundit @drawandstrike - It's a matter of public record his legal team at Covington and Burling fucked him and did a secret side deal with the prosecution team that they hid from the court until it was exposed. Involving finagling a guilty plea from their client in exchange for the prosecution not going after Flynn's son, @realmflynnJR, to send him to prison also.
Every single Covington & Burling attorney involved in that case should be disbarred just for THAT alone.
When Flynn found out what his own lawyers had done to him, he promptly fired them and brought in @SidneyPowell1, who withdrew the guilty pleas and forced the government to proceed with a case that the DOJ was later PUBLICLY FORCED TO ADMIT SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
This also seems to have slipped your mind.
And despite the fact the DOJ itself was moving to dismiss it's own case against Flynn, we got a 9 month circus in the court of Judge Emmit Sullivan, where he attempted to keep the case going himself by refusing to dismiss it.
You're a bad person, Peter Baker. And you should feel really bad about yourself.

Trump's Justice Department has agreed to pay Michael Flynn $1.25 million in taxpayer money even though he pleaded guilty twice to making false statements to FBI agents about his interactions with Russian officials. @alanfeuer https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/us/politics/michael-flynn-doj-settlement-trump.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share
