He's clearly alluding the fact that the Biden admin did far worse. The great sin of Trump's FCC was a single ill-advised tweet by FCC chair Brendan Carr... in which he threatened to enforce the law as written. For comparison, the Biden admin's FBI actively engaged in purely political media manipulation in service of the sitting president's campaign, such as when they lied to Facebook (and presumably others) to "prebunk" the Hunter's Laptop story, which directly lead to a near-total ban of a factual news story.

He wrote that the FCC wasn't a government agency. Hard to argue that is correct, or that their political pursuit of one of trump's "enemies" isn't actually political. It was more that a tweet no, but an interview with Benny johnson, an avowed political figure paid by Russians at one point?

  > He wrote that the FCC wasn't a government agency. Hard to argue that is correct You're harping on a detail that hardly matters in order to avoid the broader point, which is rather silly. The FCC is a government agency. Brendan Carr made an ill-advised tweet, which doesn't hold a candle to Biden's use of the FBI to spread misinformation and induce censorship for political purposes. > or that their political pursuit of one of trump's "enemies" isn't actually political. Of course it's political. It's political when both sides do it. > ...paid by Russians at one point Ah, I see that I'm wasting my time here.

    >Ah, I see that I'm wasting my time here. When you're ignoring the comment talking about people arrested for criticizing a political pundit to argue about minutae and claiming "both sides are bad", yes.

      You got me. I am avoiding the comment about the Perry County Police Department, as it's so incredibly damaging to my worldview. The cognitive dissonance is simply too great to bear.

    I feel it bears repeating, Benny Johnson has been paid a lot of Russian money.
