Back in October last year,Gigi Sohn was able to track the wreckage of a slow-moving train nominated by the Federal Communications Commission. increase. Many hearings, advocacy groups and lobbying groups have joined. As this column was reported, her nomination was about where it began. In purgatory.
If you don't remember, Joe Biden nominated Son for FCC because of her impressive resume andcredit for her progressive streets.Not featured in Sleepy Joe's review process (surprise) is part of her toxic position that has offended those who are actually influential in Washington, DC. They questioned whether she could make factual decisions about the vast extent of the US economy. More calm than
is what Son's tragedy says about theBiden administration's incompetenceon big and small issues. We're sorry, but without a simple regulatory nomination, there's no way to solve the $ 25 trillion US economy's afflicting problems, such as inflation surges and the upcoming recession.
This was completely avoidable, as most bidenesks fail. No one questions her knowledge of Son's problem. She is a law professor in Georgetown and a longtime telecommunications expert at theObama White House.It is her politics that makes Son a rare beginner to confirm her necessary Senate. She is a strong supporter of the left-handed edict, including net neutrality, andtreats Internet providers essentially as utilities and forces them to provide content for free. ..It confronts her with at least half of the 50-50 Senate, who believe that such surveillance will curb innovation and actually increase consumer costs.
To add to the question, Sohn's problem with some hot button issues that Biden people might have found if they were careful enough to do a simple Google search. It is a Twitter trail with.
Example: She is myemployer Attacked. Fox News,is "dangerous to our democracy." I know that it's not entirely unprecedented for libs to hate us. However, as an FCC Commissioner, she must follow a management code that requires some degree of fairness in rule-making for regulatedentities like Fox.
Her claim to be "non-profit"
And on the issue of the First Amendment that the government tells the public whichcontent is dangerous. How about?According to my sources, many people in the Senate are asking the same question, including moderate demssuch as Joe Manchinin West Virginia.
Next, we will investigate the tragedy of a costume called Rocast. Sohn was a member of the board of a nonprofit organization allegedly created to provide local programming to those who couldn't afford the cable. This was achieved by sucking up and streaming broadcast signals from themajor media companies.
As long as the service is a true non-profit organization, it's obviously not a problem. A federal judge has determined that it was not due to receivingmoney that was euphemistically labeled as a "donation." Locast has settled with the broadcaster and agreed to shut down.
And above all, Son was able to offend the policeman.
The police brotherhood, the country's largest police advocacy group, is usually , Do not participate in the FCC Commissioner. Still, she opposes Son's nomination because "social media, public policy stance, and employment history show serious hostility tolaw enforcement officersand the rule of law." ..
Summer left-handed love
After all, Son wasn't happy with focusing Twitter's Vitriol on Fox's hatred. She also liked and retweeted her post behind thedefund-the-policemovement during the"Summer of Love" in 2020.
Sohn says she understands that she needs to adjust herself in another way at the FCC. Perhaps Sleepy Joe will twistManchin's armto get him to vote in favor. Still, according to my sources about Capitol Hill, opposition from police officers could be the last straw. Dems doesn't want to be seen in favor of those who support the politicallytoxic reimbursement movement.
This exposes the Biden administration to another voluntary detention. Son is filling the vacant seats. When the White House abandons her moderately, it offends leftists likeSenator Elizabeth Warrenand her party's base when the Democratic Party needs all votes. If the White House doesn't fill the vacancy by summer vacation, the FCC will maintain a 2-2 deadlock between Republicans and Dems. Next year'sRepublican majoritySenate means that vacancies may not be filled for the rest of Biden's term.
The lack of clues about how Team Biden does things is whether it was a failedwithdrawal from Afghanistan,looming dangerous(non) Inflation (temporary),or a simple regulatory appointment.
