He wrote that the FCC wasn't a government agency. Hard to argue that is correct, or that their political pursuit of one of trump's "enemies" isn't actually political.

It was more that a tweet no, but an interview with Benny johnson, an avowed political figure paid by Russians at one point?

You're harping on a detail that hardly matters in order to avoid the broader point, which is rather silly. The FCC is a government agency. Brendan Carr made an ill-advised tweet, which doesn't hold a candle to Biden's use of the FBI to spread misinformation and induce censorship for political purposes.

Of course it's political. It's political when both sides do it.

> ...paid by Russians at one point

Ah, I see that I'm wasting my time here.

When you're ignoring the comment talking about people arrested for criticizing a political pundit to argue about minutae and claiming "both sides are bad", yes.

I feel it bears repeating, Benny Johnson has been paid a lot of Russian money.
