Shutting Down Dissent

Not so long ago, dissent was the highest form of patriotism. Today, the left seeks to shut down dissent.

“How would you anticipate the FCC governing what talkers might say on the air in situations like this?” Schultz said. “Would there be a review board? Would it go — because obviously once the license is given out, they still put talkers on the air. What if they continue to act like that and who would be the judge on what’s over the line?”

Sharpton said Schultz’s suggestions could work and would be appropriate just as profanity is regulated on the airwaves.

“I think that they can determine that in public hearings,” Sharpton said. “There could be a review board. There could be a commission. Just as they do when they enforce – you can’t use profanity and other things on the air. There are already standards they have even after they give licenses. This would only include in the existing list of things they set as standards in the first place, particularly given a climate like this.”
