Pulling CBS license?

[Hieronymus]

A right wingnut congressman on Buchanan and Press made threats that if the Reagan movie goes on they will pull CBS's license. I'm scared more every day. :scared:

1. That's frightening if it's true.

That's the kind of thing that would get to me protest in a less than calm way. :grr:

Do you know who said it?

12. Rep. Cantor R-Virginia

He's the GOP spin-boy du jour on this topic. He also
appeared on CNBC's Capitol Report spewing the same
unbelievable shit. He actually stated (I'm paraphrasing)
--there are many Americans who don't know about Reagan
and this is not how we want them to learn about this
great man...

dude, with too much lipstick, making a perfect cupid's bow. It was irritating, as well as the idiotic things he spouted.:dunce: :eyes:

3. Amazing.

What the hell happened to having an opinion? Oh, thats right.. Chimpy, Unkle Dick, Rumbo and Asscroft moved into the WH.

4. Then we should retaliate

make it known that if such action is taken, a Democratic Administration will pull the license from Rush Limbaugh and every other right wing talkshow host. That should stop any of this talk of licence pulling.

5. Like they can do that.

Let them try. I'm sure looking forward to the future democratic sweep.

6. Let's See Them Try

And explain why, to the public, that they now control the media. If that happens, a few marginal republican wing nuts will take up the issue and it won't be plesant for anyone.

7. That's censorship

That is totally unethical. There are a lot more gratuitous things than the Regan series.

9. Delightful.

Hope they try. I really, REALLY hope the little buggers try.

Nothing like biting the hand that whitewashes you.

10. Ridiculous

They can't do that.

the FCC does not have the authority to censor programming.

11. Dude, they're not talking about censoring programming.

They're talking about shutting CBS down.

Take note.

14. I saw him on Buchanan and Press.....

he is practically foaming at the mouth about this horrendous attack on Saint Ronnie. I can't believe how absurd it is, and Buchanan was just agreeing with him all the way. They are just INSANE when it comes to Reagan...you would think he was the Messiah to hear them talk. It just drives me nuts. :argh: :argh: :argh:

15. ROFLMAO!!!

Yeah right...he can do that :eyes:

Isn't SURVIVOR on CBS? :D

[Guaranteed]

16. Funny too because Reagan worked for Columbia Pictures nt

18. Yada Yada...No License Had Been "Pulled"

I heard this crap earlier and know better.

First, the only way a station's license could be "pulled" is if there's are flagrant and repeated violations of FCC rules (such as operating on the wrong channel)...all technical, none regarding content...even swear words.

The worst the FCC does is fine...and a paltry one at that...$10,000 for a violation that can easily be made up at the next commercial break.

This monkey has no clue what he's talking about. Too bad it isn't that easy to have a license revoked or pulled...that would be very bad news to Bush boys Tom Hicks, Lowrey Mayes and his friends at Cheap Channel.
