I’ve told you about this for nearly a year. It’s good to see other members of the media bring it to light.
Media will definitely feel this. Yikes.

This FCC rule is why you always see the media use plausible deniability. It’s why I keep telling you to focus on the specific words they use, and how they use them. They are aware they are breaking the law and violating the terms of their license. Remember, this isn’t a First Amendment issue … this is an FCC license issue.
They have to say they made a ‘mistake’ even if they intentionally lied to their audience because the latter is illegal.
