So if we still had a FCC or FTC (or both) with actual safeguards, guard rails, regulators, and rules, this might well be not just "over-reporting" but potentially grounds for an accusation of fraud?

Once again, because you're incredibly ignorant - The FCC doesn't have authority over cable channels.

Kimmel's show isn't on cable. It's on a broadcast channel.

You are uneducated on this topic.
November 12, 2025 at 7:29 PM
You didn’t give any sources. You claimed the FCC had jurisdiction over content on cable channels. It’s too dumb to entertain that level of stupid.
November 12, 2025 at 7:25 PM
So that's a no to you actually providing any real evidence to support your opinion.

Noted.

Meanwhile, the FCC still doesn't have jurisdiction over cable, and you don't understand the difference between cable and broadcast.

And yet no court has said that the FCC has any jurisdiction over cable channels.

There's not actual or apparent authority, you're just confused.

He thinks a local broadcast station is being forced to run a commercial by the FCC. And it’s not even about the statute for candidates. Just dumb.

South Park aired an episode that contained 200 instances of the word 'shit'

The FCC has no jurisdiction over Comedy Central. You're very confused.

The Constitution doesn’t give the FCC jurisdiction over the content on a cable channel.

There’s literally case law on this.

You’re humiliating yourself.
November 12, 2025 at 6:54 PM
You think the FCC has jurisdiction over… cable channels.

You are not a serious person.

They think the FCC regulates content on cable channels. lol.
November 12, 2025 at 6:51 PM
And yet… they think the FCC regulates cable channels for content. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The FCC didn’t ban Kimmel. They made a threat against Nexstar and Sinclair trying to hold a merger approval over their head. Those stations then stopped airing the feed. Then Disney paused a bit.

If that station told you they were being forced they are lying.
November 12, 2025 at 6:43 PM
Uh well acutally no, they can ban your content for being too vulgar like they did with kimmel. Unless you actually like to stick your head in the ground when the FCC is mentioned, this is exactly what they are doing.

My fancy electrified piano has been delayed yet again, this time by the Shutdown causing the FCC to furlough the electronics certification system.

@publicknowledge.bsky.social hosted a series of People’s Oversight Hearings for FCC, FTC, and CFPB today, asking the questions that Congress *should* be asking. Featuring FTC Commissioner Becca Slaughter, former FCC Chair Tom Wheeler, and many other former agency senior leaders. Watch here:

They are not being forced. Thats not something the FCC can mandate.
November 12, 2025 at 6:35 PM
"FTC license?"

What the hell are those?

Do you mean FCC?

Because the FCC only licenses over the air broadcast stations.

sorry but I know too many companies that the FCC are Coercing them to do adverts. For instance my favorite radio Show in SF, 107.7 The Bone has been forced by ICE to run ads or be pulled off the air. They are a Rock and Metal radio station who doesn't get political at all.

Sue them again. They always lose over their lies. In the next administration needs to cancel their FCC license
