Congress Turns Up The Heat on FCC's Chairman
Fletch writes "FCC Chairman Kevin Martin could be in for an uncomfortable spring, as House Energy Committee Chair John Dingel (D-MI) has requested a truckload of FCC paperwork relating to some controversial decisions Martin has made. Those include the FCC's reversal on the a la carte cable issue and newspaper-television cross-ownership restrictions. 'This request has got to be turning the FCC completely upside down. Significantly, it appears to reflect a bipartisan discontent with Martin's performance. Democrats and some Republicans are upset over his recent move to relax one of the agency's key media ownership rules, as well as the rushed manner in which he handled the matter late last year. Other Republicans dislike what they see as Martin's persecution of the cable industry, especially Comcast.' The Committee originally announced its intention to investigate the FCC in January."
"Rather, it appears to me to be a fairly clear case of someone making a satirical remark, intended to be amusing. It might be a bit sarcastic as well, but that does not remove its value as satire"
It can be all those things and a troll as well. Are you fucking stupid or something?
As to your whining, WAHHHH! you fucking cry baby, WAHHH! all day, no one cares what you think about moderation, except when we get the chance to inform you that you're both wrong and stupid.
