Maybe, but the courts are also stacked in favor of Trump. They can go all the way to the Supreme Court with it, but it’ll end in his favor in a 5-4 split decision.
I’m not sure what the FCC would do about it, but it’s something at least. Just real easy to have a pessimistic view when, with he massive pile of crimes and misdemeanors he has under his gut allready, nobody has actually been able to do much beyond sue, win, and he keeps doing the same shit anyhow…
Oh FCC won’t do anything but this could get Congress (or the courts) to intervene and maybe remove Brendan Carr or something. It’s not likely but Trump and friends “work” by throwing everything at the wall and seeing what they’re allowed to get away with. This is an attempt to make sure they don’t get away with something and that’s good.
Anything is better than nothing, it’s a matter of who gets to set the precedent, but making threats and not being able to back them up doesn’t help anyone’s case, either way.
I think the best thing trump ever did to help him get to this position was calling bluffs and making his own, and that seems to have made it work, for now at least.
That and the billionaire nepotism for sure
Edit while I’m at it.
Just how in the fuck did we end up in the version of reality TV where we gave the host, just like, way too much power over reality.
It’s like the modern Aristocrats, where everyone is both eating shit but coming out on top every time
Them not acting on a valid report gives cause for a lawsuit against the FCC which could result in something.
Lemmy: “why won’t anyone do anything”
Someone: *takes first steps
Lemmy: “this is useless!”

Yes, best to try nothing for fear of failure.

Who pays a lawsuit against the FCC? What positive action could possibly come from that?
