The Left’s Latest Power Play

Leftist bureaucrats are once again wielding their power to advance their agenda.

Case in point: The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has a regulation that limits foreign ownership in radio stations to no more than 25%. But over the past few years, George Soros has been buying up radio stations all over the country.

Now, Soros has his sights set on the Audacy network, which has more than 200 radio stations across the country and features several top conservative hosts, including Glenn Beck, Erick Erickson, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, and Dana Loesch.

I’ll give you one guess as to why Soros is so interested in the Audacy network. (Hint: He would prefer the stations only talk about flowers, sports or celebrity gossip all day.)

However, the New York Post reports that the deal Soros is pushing would give him a 40% stake in the company, far exceeding the 25% limit. But the liberal majority on the FCC appears inclined to accommodate Soros by granting him a waiver from that limit.

But there’s more.

The FCC is also trying to set new regulations for some political ads in this campaign, which contradict the rules established by the Federal Election Commission. Some FEC commissioners are furious, and they are telling the FCC, “Get back in your lane. We regulate political ads, not you.”

Meanwhile, the left’s impulse toward censorship is on full display again. Joe Biden has reportedly created a special task force to aggressively push back on so-called “cheap fakes” – you know, videos that show Biden being Biden.

Presumably, it won’t be long before FBI agents start pressuring social media companies to censor the truth again.
