No one has accused Americans of being particularly bright either. What is Trump going to say, “This announcement isn’t for Americans, but, the hackers which will facilitate greater power to me in 2018. Let’s face Americans can’t seem to grasp I am a treasonist, so Russian hackers are my best friends.”
It is interesting, isn’t it? Trump is screaming fire in a theater and no one in the FCC seems particularly interested. A federal agency is supposed to protect the public, not victimize it. Media outlets needed to file civil suits to protect their professionals from irrational statements by the President of the USA. Wave the flag ๐บ๐ธ and rely on long lived professional standards and policy. If everyone is doing and complaining about the same thing judges will be compelled to act.
Putting up with Trump is nonsense.
