Senate Dems take a shot at Disney

This is big. The entire Democratic leadership of the US Senate sent a very nasty letter to Disney over the 9/11 fakeumentary. Funny, it hits all the points I made in my last post at the Detroit News on the subject. I'm especially glad that ABC's broadcast license came up.

The Communications Act of 1934 provides your network with a free broadcast license predicated on the fundamental understanding of your principle obligation to act as a trustee of the public airwaves in serving the public interest. Nowhere is this public interest obligation more apparent than in the duty of broadcasters to serve the civic needs of a democracy by promoting an open and accurate discussion of political ideas and events.

ABC has been the most egregious in using it's position in the media to advance the GOP agenda. It's about time they were held to account for what should be illegal conduct under its license.
