Chapter 1: What does Trump say about NBC and ABC's coverage?
Trump attacks NBC and ABC networks, wants FCC to revoke their license. This is a pretty heavy statement to be making, to revoke a license despite a very high popularity and according to many, among the greatest eight months in presidential history, ABC and NBC fake news, two of the worst and most biased networks in history, give me a 97% bad stories.
If that is the case, they are simply an arm of the Democratic Party and should, according to many, have their licenses revoked by the FCC. I would be totally in favor of that because they are biased and untruthful, an actual threat to democracy. Maga, Tom, your thoughts on this?
So... When you say it that way, I wish the president had mentioned equal time. President, I thought, did a really good job on the flag burning, mentioning inciting riots, because that's a law. That's a statute. You can investigate that.
Chapter 2: How does the concept of equal time apply to media coverage?
There is the equal time provision that when you are given a license by the FCC, there is equal time provision. And growing up, Pat, you and I may have remembered watching TV in California, in L.A., you would have citizens that would give their opinion on the evening news. Do you remember this? Yes. Yes. You know, I'm so someone say there. Hi, my name is Joyce Azerbaijan.
And, you know, I live over here and I have an opinion about this. And she would read a statement. We'd say the opinions of citizens are not necessarily the opinion of the network itself, however, are presented.
Chapter 3: What are the implications of media bias on democracy?
To give equal time. And that's what it used to be. All of that has been basically unenforced. And if you unenforce the speed limit, everybody is suddenly driving 80 miles an hour in I-95. Guess what? That's what happens. So if you don't enforce this, then you get this.
I wish I wish Trump rather than making it almost feel the doors kind of open with this statement here where people could say, oh, you're just being retaliatory. You're going after this. He's right on certain things, like giving percents about the stories.
Chapter 4: How does Trump's statement reflect on free speech?
But I wish he had mentioned the equal time. They are not giving equal time. There were supposed to be equal time provisions. There were supposed to be things and a lobbying. And it was like, this is a paid statement. The people that are selling bamboo steamers and Ginsu knives, they had to put those things. Remember this, Vinny? They said, this is a paid advertisement for Ginsu.
And you have to say it was a paid advertisement. Well, now you do have politics coming in and basically paying to get people on and doing things.
Chapter 5: What is the history of the equal time provision by the FCC?
So I wish Trump had been... taking more to the hoop is saying they're going to lose their license if they're going to be biased one place and they're just going to be a tool and they're not going to be following the equal time provision and the other things, I think they could lose their license. The way he said it kind of made it sound like angry and I'm going after you.
Very good point. Rob, can you go to ChatGBT and type the following thing? Is there equal time provision given by the FCC license? Just type in, is there equal time given by FCC license? Okay. Watch what comes up. Tom's making a very, very good point here.
Chapter 6: How do the hosts evaluate Trump's media strategy?
So if you go to the history of a 1934 equal time, okay, established under Commission Acts of 1934 and enforced by the Federal Communications Commission, FCC, requires that U.S. broadcast TV and radio give equal opportunity to all legally qualified political candidates for the same office if they request it. This doesn't mean equal airtime automatically.
It applies when a station sells or gives airtime to one candidate, then they must offer the same terms, time, rates, and conditions to others as well. Now, obviously, none of that is accurate with what happened with NBC and CBS and ABC. Now, if they choose to go after them, it's going to be a very slippery slope on what happens here. There's the good and there's the bad here.
Let me tell you what the good and the bad is here. The good is they're going to be held accountable.
Chapter 7: What accountability measures are discussed regarding media coverage?
That's the good. The bad is... When the Democrats get elected, the same pressure is coming back again. Just letting you know. So this is great right now. Conservatives, Republicans, oh my God, let me tell you, Google was at the White House for Trump's inauguration. They gave $2 million, $1 million. Bezos was there and YouTube was there. Oh my God, I see you guys in our search all the time.
Everybody's there, right?
Chapter 8: What future challenges might arise with media bias?
Facebook, I'm giving $2 million for the party and ceremony. Is that how they're going to be when the Dems go in the White House? Are they going to show up the same way? I don't know. Are they going to be like, hey, you guys got to do something about that? I don't know.
I hope America doesn't have a short-term memory and doesn't forget when the Twitter files and everything came out seeing that Biden was asking Twitter and others on what to do. We've never had YouTube files. We've never had Google files. We've never had any of these other files. We've only had Twitter files because a guy bought it, named Elon Musk, right?
So as much as we're going through this, I want accountability of that taking place. The Dems are going to remember when they come to office, they're going to be targeting people left and right in ways we've not seen before. If Trump pushes extremely hard on everything, it may be good while he's president,
And maybe even if a Republican wins the next two terms, but eventually Democrats' turn is gonna come, and they're gonna play ball in a major way. So whatever way they make these changes, I hope it's permanent changes, it's not temporary changes. Vinny, you look like you wanna say something.
Yeah, I think it should be permanent. And you made a great point earlier Now, if somebody says something anywhere, person, live, television, network, Tom, I could go right on my phone and be like, no, you're actually right or you're actually wrong. Think about for how long, how many decades we had it where whatever that channel told us, it was fact. Whatever that channel told us, it was fact.
And I love the fact about accountability because in all fairness, nobody's ever been gone after as much as he has. And like, for instance, like the networks, knowingly CNN, knowingly CNN, knowing Russia was all BS, Pat, and getting paid to do it. And look what they did. They destroyed people's lives.
I still know I have people in my life that I love that still won't talk to me because of what they brainwashed them to think that this guy was Hitler, that this guy was a Nazi. And a great point, Adam, that they downplayed that word. The left made the word Hitler and Nazi, those words, kind of like, eh, whatever. If Hitler's like Trump, then whatever. What? It's unbelievable.
And the main one, COVID. How are none of these networks, how is nobody at CNN, MSNBC going to get in trouble at all? Was anybody held accountable, Pat, for somebody, Cuomo, all these guys, going in front of a camera and making people, saying, if you don't get this... experimental crap in your body, you're the enemy. They literally call this enemy.
So now with myocarditis and sudden death is on a freaking, on a rise, is anybody going to get held accountable?
