ummm First amendment? Its not the first time misinformation has been broadcasted on air, why does the FCC need to get involved in this one. Would they have gotten involved if the implication was that he was a liberal?

They asked what was controversial about what he said, not whether the FCC's actions were constitutional.

The former is (for some at least) interesting. The latter is actually consequential. I'm concerned about the latter.

The former, whether I agree or not, is about legal, protected political speech.

I don't see the FCC cancelling news shows on which Trump lies. Double standards driven by politics and why the govt orgs need career staff and not political players. Rule of Law anyone?
