Big Brouhaha! Trump gives a typical Twitter-length statement, and now the leftoids are all over him like stink on donkey poop.
Even the best "TV Judge" out there, Andrew Napolitano, jumped on Trump's suggestion (story not on the website yet as of 1100 PDT, was on Fox News earlier in the ayem).
Trump made an error of omission, that's all. He seemed to suggest that his Administration could go after NBC's broadcast licenses. Judge Napolitano said no, bad idea, first amendment, etc, blah, blah, blah. The Judge was wrong, though, and had an affirmative duty (legal term, the Judge will know what that means) to point out that it WOULD be perfectly okay for President Trump to advocate that his citizen-supporters get involved in this process (removing licenses).
Here's how that removal is done:
- Take the station's call sign, in my example, we will use KGW-TV, the NBC affiliate here in Stumptown. Go to your search engine and look it up. At the top or near it will be a Wiki.
- In that Wiki, there will be links, in this case, to an FCC site.
- Look up the FCC site and there will be a condensed-format paragraph. It will be tabbed. Go to the "Links and Maps" tab, and you will find the links you need to make a comment about the station's politics. This link was titled "Correspondence relating to application..." Unless the stations cheat somehow, your comment HAS to be considered with license renewal comes up. Note that your letter will have to be sent via land-mail, address given.
That's all there is to it. Have fun. Help out President Trump. If enough of us do this, it WILL get to the stations' honchos.
