CREW asks the FCC to revoke Fox's broadcast license
Ethics watchdog asks FCC to revoke Fox's broadcast licenses
By Andrew Feinberg - 05/02/12 09:56 AM ET
An ethics watchdog group is using the hacking scandal in the United Kingdom to call on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to cancel Fox's broadcast licenses.
The Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Government (CREW) sent a letter to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski on Tuesday, arguing that U.S. law states that broadcast airwaves shall only be licensed to people of "good character" and used "in the public interest."
They're asking the FCC to revoke broadcast licenses for the 27 stations the Fox network owns in the United States.
Rupert Murdoch heads News Corp., the parent company of Fox. Murdoch's former newspaper, News of the World, is under investigation in England for allegedly bugging phones in order to obtain stories.

3. Please let this gain some traction.
I expect Morbid Murdy would hand it over to the devil Ailes (on paper) but any disruption to their foul noise machine would be welcome.

4. ... and ask SEC to revoke NEWS CORP from trading or go down to 0.01 in valuation.
..ask the INS to revoke Murdoch's citizenship and deported back to Australia.
..ask the DEA to check James Murdoch's house for illegal drugs.
..ask IRS to do an complete audit on News Corp's finances and penalize them at the maximum, plus interest dating back to when Murdoch moved to the US.
Liberalism: the law isn't meant for the public good, it's meant to punish those who are disfavored
I would also add CREW is made up of morons. Fox doesn't operate on public airwaves, it operates on satellite.

Fox broadcast carries MLB, NASCAR, the BCS, NFL, and on Sundays, Chris Wallace's FNC show. Maybe someone helpful could explain this to them, and explain that the FCC doesn't regulate cable, where Fox News is located.
It would be a buzzkill of epic proportions. :fuelfire: :lol:

Ask the SEC to magically make Fox's value to go down to .01? Are these people that stupid? You're telling me they don't even understand basic valuation?

Yes.
Next question?

They always, always forget that Fox is cable. DUmmies, don't you ever feel foolish? Since you won't leave your bubble, I'll give you a sample of The Hill commenters:
Good grief. I've never seen such a book-burning, censorious mindset as today's progressive left in their search-and-destroy approach to the First Amendment. Not a day goes by without news of someone else they want to silence.
LOL, this is Soro's funded group, they should get their license's removed for fraud.
Ethics watchdog- er, I think you mean liberal agenda pushing special interest lobbying group....that's what CREW is.
However, I would love to see the FCC strip Fox of its licenses. The holy hell that would be unleashed on groups like CREW and their allies would be great to watch.
so going by this logic we the United States of America should be told what to do by some group of far left loons based on the finding of a partisan panel from Europe? Wow how out of touch are the Socialists at CREW.
Watchdog? They better hope Obama doesn't ask 'em to dinner.
How about we revoke Obama's license to operate as CEO of this country! He's been trying to get rid of FOX from day one. He's a Communist who wants complete control including the networks that don't conform to his ideologies. He's pretty ignorant if he thinks he can dictate the American people. He has absolutely no idea how ready we are to show him the door
So it's not just those wacky Cave people...it's the general public. You should get out more.

The FCC can kiss Fox's ass! Then DUmp on the DUmmies with the semi load of horse shit I'm willing to donate!
To begin with, ya sure as hell can't punish the Corp in the USA for what some stooooopid Brit does!
Get a life idiots!

Might even be worth someone burnin' a mole to crap on their fantasy!

It seems nobody, from The Hill right on down to DU realize that this request is to pull the FOX broadcast network off the air, which airs shows written, produced, and acted in by some of the most leftist people alive. Matt Groening, Seth MacFarlane, The entire cast of Glee, etc etc etc. - Not FOX News.
I swear, liberals are like a troupe of monkeys who discover a long lost & forgotten landmine.

The Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Government (CREW)
Shouldn't they be called CREG instead of CREW?

Nadin may have had a hand in naming them. Regardless - I think we should run with it. " CREW - We put the 'EW' in Ethics. "

I can't wait for a republican AG that dismantles the far left organization that Soros has built and puts that proven fascist in the big house.

^Let's start with deporting him.
