(10,622 posts)the FCC has all the power in these matters. The last commissioner, the one that set up the pins for this apparently planned move, miraculously went directly from that post into a very high paid job in the industry as I recall. The current one who came from the industry was no doubt fully expected to make the final moves and will also no doubt return to the corporate cesspool that spawned him with many perks, a grand salary and likely a very large bonus.
It is easy to spot the bull because it always takes them so damn many words, circular arguments and false axioms to spin the web, you caught on right away, the only mistake you made was believing they may be arguing in good faith, I always look to the simple base facts first because I have "trust issues". I find my trust issues have served me quite well over the past thirty years
A simple rule of thumb, those that cultivate spin for a living, be it as a fox news invited speaker (even the neoliberal ones) or a third way attorney, can only be trusted to do one thing and that is spin for their clients or those they would like to woo as clients. They are on the job 24/7 and they just spin and spin and spin.
You have argued well, even while being tricked into playing their game, you made them have to twist their BS narrative seven ways from Sunday just to keep up with you. For that you have my sincere admiration.
