From Reality Social:
I knew Al Sharpton for a few years, not that it issues, however he was a significant ‘TRUMP’ fan. He’d ask me to go to his faux Rallies on a regular basis, as a result of I introduced BIG Crowds, and he couldn’t get anyone to return with out me. Then he did the Tawana Brawley Hoax, one of many worst Low Stage Scams in Historical past, and that set him again, BIG TIME! Then he obtained to know Brian Roberts, Chairman of Pretend Information NBC, who gave him what would turn into one of many Lowest Rated Exhibits in Tv Historical past. Roberts is afraid to take him off as a result of it wouldn’t be ‘Politically Right.’ That is simply one of many many causes that the Federal Communications Fee ought to look into the license of NBC, which exhibits virtually solely constructive Democrat content material. Likewise, ABC Pretend Information — About the identical factor, 97% damaging to Republicans!
Because it stands, the FCC can’t meddle within the affairs of MSNBC, as it’s a cable information community and never a standard tv station, which the fee would have some involvement with.
