Alex-Jones radio station off the air gets shut down by FCC?

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/fc...tation/ar-BBLZci9?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=HPCOMMDHP15

What next? Do we burn books? Shut down the National inquirer? Start censorship of the news? Have the government decide content like communist dictators do?

This is out of line. Today it is their ox that is gored, tomorrow it is your ox that gets gored.

 

Awwww so sad!

 

This has absolutely nothing to do with content. Radio stations need licenses to operate. This one didn't have a license.

The show and station don't broadcast on the radio - but (NB - from your own f'ing article. Did you even read it?) they still stream online. The content remains available.

What exactly are you outraged about?

 

Well its probably excellent for Jones. People doing their best to silence him is going to get more and more attention than he could if people had just left well enough alone.

No such thing as bad publicity.

 

He is streaming "on line" is not illegal. His radio station is OFF THE AIR already. Just wait till it is your ox that gets gored.

And it IS because of the content, did YOU read the article?

 

I have never listened to his rantings, but I will defend to the death, his right to rant unimpeded.

Lets go back to NO LAW in the constitution.

 

Please please listen to Alex Jones. The more you people believe in conspiracy and nonsense, the more you deny facts, the easier it is for my kids and society as a whole to leave you behind in the broken down trailer parks where folks like you belong. Keep denying reality, and science and higher education. I'm sure it will all work out for best.

 

Lol, you don't really get it.

 

How has the conditioning of the 1984 crowd feeling? Your Society is falling apart. Anyone who tells people stuff like this scare the government, because behind a lot of it is often a kernel of truth. A prime well know example is Hitler's extermination of the Jews. It was a rumor, but the general German people didn't believe it because it was just outlandish "Art Bell" stuff nonsense.
Another is there is no voter fraud.

 

We'll... Jones is an odd duck and quite frankly i Find him kind of hilarious but there is a method to his madness. He gets all animated and rants and raves about things to draw attention to them.

 

The people who don't get it are the Alex Jones listeners, literally and metaphorically since you basically have to find a deep well and throw yourself down it to find Alex Jones's content now.

But I want you all to listen Alex, I really do. If the opposition is trying to frighten me by promising to give themselves lobotomies( ) then I'm going to do my best to encourage them.

 

Well hee is under the impression that people that point out the folly of this move are fans.

If the idea was to remove his platform you just shined a giant spot light on it, and in a time where news media is almost completely discredited that is a foolish thing to do.

 

You still think it's about the listeners. Lol.

I know his content is nutty reitetating how smart you think you are because you can point out something that would be obvious to a 6 year old is rather funny but I'm afraid you are letting your vitriol confuse this as some sort of a win.

 

Your claims are false.

And even your own article says so.

I know right wing reactionaires like to make up fake memes that they can be outraged about, but this is particularly ridiculous.

You can't even be bothered with the facts in the very article you cite as "evidence".

Instead, you falsely claim that the FCC is targeting Jones over content, even though your own material flatly contradicts the claim you made up and are pushing in this thread.



These people were cited back in 2014, and kept right on breaking the law.

Of course, Jone's partners, the slumlords who own the seedly apartment complex that Jones operates out of, have other problems.

I have often commented that right wingers seldom care if what they are ranting about is actually true or not, as long as it pumps up their outrage.

This thead is the purest case in point I've seen yet!

 

I guess not understanding what's happening is what led to Donald Trump being elected and it's probably going to mean he's reelected in 2020.

Some people just never learn.

 

How is it not a win? One, it signals to the loonies that the mainstream communities want nothing to do with you. Two, it pushes Alex and his listeners to the fringes where they belong. And three, if it has the added benefit of drawing more white conservatives to be duped and lobotomized by Alex's conspiracies even better.

 

It doesn't matter this makes Jones look like the wronged party in the enormous Tech Giants and Silicon Valley look like oppressors.

They are literally trying to suppress people's speech because they don't like it. They aren't going to succeed.

This is a backfire. And it's absolutely political whether it truly is or not doesn't matter because it is that's how it's viewed.

 

well I suppose it is a win for the suppression of free speech and that's how it's viewed.

 

What you mean we?

What next? Do we tolerate fanatics preaching jihad over the airwaves? Endure obscenity-laden screes being spouted by NAMBLA spokespersons in Sesame Street back alleys? Allow drunken degenerates to take to America's roads to use their automobiles as weapons? (Liberty Radio had functioned without a licence since at least 2013.)

Reckless irresponsibility need not be inflicted upon Americans, no matter what form the derangement takes. Anarchists have a covert agenda beyond a radio entertainer bamboozling the public for profit.

 

Yea, by morons who don't understand free speech. That's my point. If Alex Jones wants to turn more of you into morons I'm all for it.

 

You would think lefties would want a kook like that to broadcast. I love to see Ocasio-Cortez on TV.....give her more air time.

 

Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are simple Concepts that 6 year olds understand so it's not the people not understanding free speech it's you not understanding free speech or freedom of the press.

You still think this is about his content you still don't get it. It's about the First Amendment.


And it's kind of funny people that seem to think that this is some sort of win for them were some of the same people who said Donald Trump criticizing news outlets was him trying to suppress the First Amendment.

Your partisanship has relieved you of all logic. You're contributing to the loss but go ahead and convince yourself it's a win that's how we're going to get a second term with Donald Trump Maybe even someone from the Republican party after Donald Trump.

 

Alex Jones should have been shut down the moment he supported the faux astroturfed crooked Koch Brothers funded Tea Party movement. The entire thing has been a gigantic charade putting the thumbscrews on democracy and lying about its true intent.

 

TYT gives her plenty. I see her on there all the time. And I agree with you. You should of seen how happy she and the rest of the TYT fans were when Hannity listed her "dangerous socialist platform" that included healthcare and education for your family and kids and basic human dignity....oh the horror! Please, spread her message far and wide. I dare you.

 

Hey this is completely in tune with the POTUS LK taking away security clearances from anyone who thinks for himself or does not agree with POTUS LK.
