Q&A with telecom reporter Karl Bode about Gigi Sohn's nomination to the FCC as Comcast and Fox Corp. team up to lobby swing votes in the Senate against her
How often do the parent companies of Fox News and MSNBC team up? … Today, we're just talking about a problem. Tweets: @karlbode , @commoncause , @starfire2258 , and @reckless Tweets: Karl Bode / @karlbode : media/telecom giants (and the politicians paid to love them) have been waging a year long coordinated smear campaign against a qualified and popular FCC nominee, gridlocking the agency. I talked about it with the verge: https://www.theverge.com/... @commoncause : The FCC, in charge of how we get our internet connection, is deadlocked and can't vote on reforms including expanding rural broadband and restoring net neutrality. Why? Because the Senate won't vote on confirming Gigi Sohn to the commission. https://www.theverge.com/... Sean Hollister / @starfire2258 : So proud of these big back-to-back stories about how politicians on both sides of the aisle are fucking up https://www.theverge.com/... https://www.theverge.com/... Nilay Patel / @reckless : Here I am talking to NewsMax CEO Chris Ruddy (and many others!) about why Fox News and Comcast are fighting to keep the FCC deadlocked at 2-2 https://www.theverge.com/...
