1. He is a republican, he has impunity here

[Ian David]

2. I'll miss Family Guy, House, and American Dad. Sigh. n/t

[Liberalynn]

7. I don't believe our government will take any steps against Murdoch

no matter what he may be proven guilty of. Too many of their own skeletons would be uncovered as a result. However, if I am giving them too little credit, and Murdoch does loose his FCC license it is more than likely someone else would buy at least those programs, if not the Fox entertainment channel in its entirety.

8. I won't. I don't even watch The Simpsons anymore unless its on DVD or 3rd run syndication. I rarely

even watch Faux films.

[valerief]

14. Me, too. Fox is good for some things. Just not news/opinion. nt

[The Wielding Truth]

22. Don't worry.If they make a profit they will be picked up by another network.

[michreject]

3. Unfortunetly the FCC doesn't regulate faux nooze

Only broadcast media.

We could loose the Simpsons though.

[Erose999]

9. Yep, Faux Noose is a cable channel and can thus pollute with impunity.

[klook]

4. No more Joe Buck and Tim McCarver doing MLB games?

Works for me. :woohoo:

Every time I have to listen to these guys I almost choke on the arrogance and smarm.

[spanone]

5. the gift that keeps on giving!

[malaise]

6. Hopefuklly the Kockroaches won't buy out Fox

I'm lovin' it. I'm watching to see who among the Fox goons jumps ship first. This is the the scumbag media scandal of the century.
I'm picking actors for the movie and the sequel. :evilgrin: :popcorn:

[Javaman]

10. don't hold your breath. nt

[FSogol]

11. Make it so. n/t

[spanone]

12. republicans will circle the wagons and protect murdoch from those evil democrats

[malaise]

13. They can't control this one

It's global and it's huge. If Fox was hacking phones in the US CREW and Media Matters will get them.

[spanone]

15. i'll bet everything i have that they are doing the same thing here

EVERYTHING

[liberal N proud]

16. FUX snews isn't going anywhere

Don't get your hopes up, they will do whatever it takes to save it.

[dembotoz]

17. wont happen because $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[otohara]

18. FCC Is Pretty Worthless

there used to be a day, when complying with FCC rules was taken seriously.
Then Bill Clinton signed the Telecommunications Act.

[craigmatic]

19. FCC is a political institution that's more likely to cave to murdoch as punish him.

[lame54]

20. I can't wait for Roger Ailes name to pop up in this scandal

[onenote]

21. all the article says is that someone will try to use the scandal to challnege NewsCorp licenses

It doesn't suggest at all that such a challenge can or will be successful.

License challenges aren't all that uncommon. But successful challenges are almost unknown.

[DainBramaged]

23. Did you miss the word could in my OP?

[onenote]

25. Your OP said they could lose their licenses. The story says the licenses could be challenged.

That is an important distinction. My post pointed out that nothing in the story suggests that any such challenge has the slightest chance of being successful. Your OP would have more accurately reflected the article you cite if it has been entitled "Challenges to Murdick Licenses Could be Filed Here because of the scandal"

All the smilies accompanying your OP suggest that you believe and wanted to convey to others that there is realistic possibility that News Corp could lose its licenses in the US. There isn't.
