Rupert Murdoch who has a very large interest in keeping regulators out of the medias money printing machinery, out of ISPs rent-seeking grift, out of conglomerates which own both media companies and ISPs collusion against consumers)
Be doubly sure to read up on how the media AKA vested interest was weaponized against her nomination too.
Edit: here’s an article to get started https://www.theverge.com/23437518/biden-fcc-gigi-sohn-fox-news-comcast-senate-democrats-midterms-election https://www.theverge.com/23437518/biden-fcc-gigi-sohn-fox-ne... Note that it explicitly mentions Fox News (also Murdoch) so again I don’t have much faith that WSJ is unbiased about this issue. The Verge has some other in-depth articles about Gigi Sohn as well. Pretty ironic that the first response defending the GOP actions is from a source overseen by someone directly responsible for the media campaign against her. It obviously worked.

If the appointee is acting like a politician and not a civil servant, they should consider running for some political position.
