Public interest = Trump's interest

Must. Air. State. Propaganda.

But it's NOT in the public interest to broadcast, and thereby lend an air of legitimacy, to the disinformation of a corrupt POTUS.

The public interest is not served by amplifying lies.

Like they passed on carrying Biden's speech on threats to democracy? September 1, 2022 Broadcast networks passed on carrying Joe Biden‘s speech in Philadelphia, as the president cast MAGA Republicans as a threat to democracy. deadline.com/2022/09/joe-...

It may be in the public interest not to amplify misinformation spread by none other than the First Felon.

Quick follow-up Q: In what way is it in the public interest to broadcast a deeply dementia addled moron who's guaranteed to go off script and babble about meaningless boondoggles like the reflecting pool and the dance hall before threatening a sovereign state with Armageddon for the 12th time?

NO its all bullshit!

🎼 Some of these things are not like the others; some of these thing just do not belong...🎶 Broadcasters obligations vs AI & #47 Hallucinations News : public interest :: content : 47's private interest.

this guy is a hunger games ass villain lol act accordingly

Really should add “…unless they’re not a Republican” to the end of Carr’s answers.

Turn your assets off or to a channel not showing this!

What trumps teleprompter will read

Carr is nothing but a noisy Trump mouthpiece

Trump belongs in a home, not on tv. That said, the more people that hear of his regimes plans to cheat this election the better. I won't be watching.

So does the FCC!

Unless there's a heart attack on live TV then I don't give a fuck.

Lies are not in the public interest.

So not broadcasting lies would be in the public’s best interest.

Biden didn’t get that consideration,

When the networks refused an Obama address on immigration what were Carr’s thoughts?

"Do they have an obligation to air purely partisan, delusional bullshit?" "Yes, absolutely, if it's OUR bullshit. If it's the BS of the far-left, sick, communist, lunatic Dems who hate the country, then HELL NO."

Content huh? Letting the game slip out there ehy? Yup, that's it. Burn the Internet to ash. It's just propaganda, lies and selling you shit you don't need anymore

Content. 🙄

I’m surprised they haven’t sent us all a text that says you must watch this or else….

On behalf of “public” we aren’t interested

Hate him so much.

Pretty sure he didn't have to ask for permission from CBS and probably others. Dating or changing room type situations or hanging out with Jeffrey he never asked for permission then why should you do it now?

Why not give the guy who brought us explosive diarrhea a chance, maybe it will be good?

«The public interest»? 🤣 I'm sure he doesn't get the irony of it.

Already canceled our cleaning service and I prefer to clean my bathrooms during Trump's pity party tomorrow night.

He may as well wear a red arm band with a swastika. That is what his job is. And, newsflash, that didn't end well for the people who did the same in Germany. Fuck this guy to Berlin and back.

Since when

(2) It is foreseeable that broadcast of the information will cause substantial public harm, and (3) Broadcast of the information does in fact directly cause substantial public harm.

Take it to court: "Mr. Carr, do broadcasters have an obligation to broadcast content they know to be false or dangerous? " "No, but they had no reason to think the unaired speech would contain falsehoods." "Your honor, we would like to present 400 tb of direct evidence to support our assertion."

He's delivering gibberish - the absence of content.

Setting up my vcr to record it!

I’m definitely not watching Trump’s speech. I will only watch the analysis of Trump’s speech, and I guarantee you that analysis will not be favorable.

Didn't stop them from not airing Biden.

So Gilligan's Island re-runs then?

"or content"

Putting the bully in the bully pulpit

Start with a disclaimer thelat they will cut away at the first lie, likely 5 seconds in.

Fox might have to pay another $787 million if they do air it

Besides, it's board game night.

Networks do not need to air Trump’s nonsense live. They should record it and report relevant parts later in the event he says anything new of substance. Stop giving this clown the attention and platform he so desperately craves.

By not airing it, they are definitely in the public interest, listen to a liar and fraud babble total BS, is not healthy for anyone.

But what about when the president delivers lies? Or is that “content”?

They picked AOC to engage an emotional response from their audience. They are complicit!

Decisions like these are the reason I no longer watch network TV.

Can’t make anyone watch.

Operate in the public interest...Then they would never report anything he has to say!

Funny how broadcasting is the only industry in the entire country with an obligation to operate in the public’s interest

No one wants to be held liable for the lies that will spew from trumps face.

Prime time to show a sore loser regurgitating the same old crap.

Another one who should be asked about his daily humiliation

I cannot stress enough how much I want these people in prison when this is all over.

Ever wonder what Hitler’s Nazi officials looked & sounded like? Now you know.

A three-second broadcast, then.

Networks give the President free airtime for important public interest concerns……listening to a rehash of 2020 from sore loser Trump is not a public concern

Bullshit

Carr should familiarize himself with the Constitution: 1A - Free speech 5A - Forbids gov't from taking private property without just compensation 13A - Bans involuntary servitutde In fact, these are the reasons Republicans use against cakes for gay weddings or forcing doctors work for lower fees.

What if the public are sick of the lying bastard?

And I have an obligation to be washing my hair during that time.

Hopefully karma hits him hard and he has a horrific health event during said speech.

The next best thing to State Media is Coerced Media.

I can’t understand on gods green earth how ANYONE wants to listen to the Cheeto talk when all that comes out of his mouth are lies and nonsense 🙄🙄🙄

Someone should tell this dolt that made up bullshit is not "in the public interest". Once again Trump is just trying to use lies in effort to enrage his cult.

How do you explain FOX News? What obligation are they serving?

Trump’s lies and complaining are not in the public interest

iddp.gwu.edu/biden-warned...

I'm sure there's some paint drying that I need to watch at that time slot

I second that emotion

Is shameless lies and gaslighting in the public interest?

I'd rather have another root canal than watch Trump speak.

Shove it Carr.

So broadcasters have an obligation to fact-check?

And when they lie at a rate of 45 lpm, is it in the public interest to retransmit those lies, or...?

“Content” is not news if it’s just lies and propaganda. It’s fucking criminal.

Ugh… it’s going to turn into trump rambling and bloviating and doing his weirdly sexual gruntings and moanings 24/7.

Too many Trump voters can ignore their duly elected criminal mad king. They shouldn't get that luxury.

We want the network to deliver the news Not the "president", he only has opinions And all of those are vile

They might air it but I’m not watching

Then they all wouldn't carry it

lol gotta love the "fair enough" wrap-up by the sycophant host.

#TRUMP #SPEECH What he accuses others of-is what he IS DOING DON'T BELIEVE OR BE INTIMIDATED BY #FEAR & #HATRED OR ANYONE WHO SAYS YOUR #VOTE WON'T COUNT USE YOUR #VOTEPOWER & GET US OUT OF THIS MESS TO COMBAT THEIR #CHEATING #LYING & #STEALING #SPINELESS #REPUBLICANS want Daddy to save their jobs

Broadcasting lies is in the public interest?

Same like in russia

That’s a threat.

Spreading falsehoods is NOT public service … unless you will call out each and every misleading or false statement.

So then, why aren’t you canceling Fox News because that is not the best interest of the public. It’s an entertainment station with zero facts.

Because they're all bought and paid for. That's what happens when the entire media apparatus is captured by billionaires and fascists.

Broadcasters must act in the public interest but this regime acts in its own self interest. Fucking hypocrite.

As a member of the public, I do not like drumpf nor the lies he tells. I do not want him on my tv stations. Do us a public service and don’t give whack a doodle a platform for his rantings filled with volumes of fallacies

Bur when Biden have a speech tje networks refused to air it.

Agreed, it’s in the public interest to NOT hear him lie on national tv about an election he lost 6 friggin years ago!

I mean, yeah, they totally should, with a follow-up on how crazy and demented Trump sounded and how many lies he told.

** we can’t have more siloing of our reality. To not carry his bullshit on eg ABC or NBC while FOX & CBS broadcast his nonsense is to volunteer a schism in the public zeitgeist. Put another way, dumbasses will believe him & cry foul that abc didn’t cover. Show his awfulness to all.

“Broadcasters have an obligation to operate in the public interest” exactly why they shouldn’t air it!

Send this mofo to my hoise pls.

Hard pass. Just tell him he's on TV and let him ramble and lie to dead air.

It’s not in the public interest to air lies.

Trumps are just nonsensical

If public interest is the bar to be met, then Fox News should be off cable.

It’s in the public interest not to carry his speech.

Carr will threaten any station that does not carry it.

They refused to air Biden's speech on how dangerous and fascist MAGA is. But something tells me they'll air Trump because they are afraid of him breaking the law to punish them

Carr is right…. News, not conspiracy theories should be broadcasted.

C: Broadcasters have an obligation to operate in the public interest Oh, well, in that case no one should broadcast it.

Define “news”.

Like we can go a day without hearing his drivel if we try

What if the public isn't interested?

All Trump is planning to do is talk about how the elections were rigged with no proof.

I think he realized that “news” didn’t fit this rehash of 2020.

Sounds like a threat.

So the media can figure out what Trump is going to say during his speech, but they can’t figure out if McConnell is alive?

It's a captured audience.

Not necessary. We don't need to hear his lies. besides, where was Brendan objecting to them not carrying Biden's speech? Oh wait....different rules based on political party. My bad
