Hats off to the tireless James Comer, a Republican who is not at all afraid to launch investigations when needed.
And one is surely needed now, for none other than ghastly George Soros.
Per multiple reports, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), has recently stunned (reasonably awake) Americans by letting George Soros take control several hundred radio channels across the United States in a pathetic $400M bid.
Talk about dark money influences …
Despite the fact that such a takeover represents a blatant violation of laws against foreign ownership, the FCC apparently bypassed such inconvenient legislation because Soros’s ownership of hundreds of radio channels is apparently in the public’s so-called interest.
House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer and Representative Nick Langworthy, along with millions of Americans, clearly feel otherwise, which is precisely why they have launched an investigation into the feckless FCC.
According to a recent press release, the representatives called out the FCC for its nonsense claim that the Soros acquisition would be, in any shape or form, good for the “public interest.”
“The Audacy, Inc. deal, which will lead to Audacy, Inc. being partially ‘directly or indirectly controlled’ by foreign individuals or entities holding ‘more than one-fourth of the capital stock’ will require FCC approval to determine whether ‘the public interest will be served by the refusal or revocation of such license …
In carrying out this statutory mandate under the Communications Act, FCC has years-long established processes and procedures for adjudicating broadcast licenses in such situations, most recently updated in 2016,” the representatives noted.
Well, seems when globalist money talks, all kinds of “long established processes and procedures” are thrown out the window.
Just consider the ghastly state of Soros-funded open borders.
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, a Republican, also weighed in on how the Democrat-heavy government agency has not only allowed Soros to ignore the law, but also receive a shortcut in doing so.
“The FCC is not following its normal process for reviewing a transaction. We have established over a number of years one way in which you can get approval from the FCC when you have an excess of 25 percent foreign ownership, which this transaction does. It seems to me that the FCC is poised to create, for the first time, an entirely new shortcut,” Carr declared.
The representatives also directly addressed Jessica Rosenworcel, presently serving as the FCC chairman, in a rather pointed letter.
Noting the obvious conflict of interest in a foreign “Democrat megadonor” taking over hundreds of American radio channels, the Republicans blasted “an apparent attempt by the [FCC} to interfere in the 2024 election and politicize the work of the FCC.”
“The FCC appears to be bypassing standard processes and procedures in an unprecedented way to benefit a Democrat megadonor acquiring a major equity stake in hundreds of local radio stations across the country,” the representatives wrote.
Have they ever.
All in the “public interest” of course.
