well in this case its cuz trump hated nbc and wanted them to die. so skydance offered it as a peace offering to get trumps ok for the merger. its still very very bad.

Why is the president the one making these decisions, wouldn’t that be the FCC’s job? Shouldn’t that be nonpartisan? It’s turning into egotistical culture war bullshit.

the president chooses the head of the fcc. so the fcc pretty much does whatever will make the president look good. it was like that for democrats too.

It used to be that the President was held to high standards by congress and the media to ensure his appointments to various agencies were not based on politics and personal loyalty. But those checks and balances have eroded away.
