We can never allow these Stalinists to gain full power again. Never.

House Democrats Want ‘Oversight’ over Fox News’ Editorial Decisions

Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives are demanding to know why Fox News did not publish a story prior to the 2016 election about an alleged affair years before between porn star Stormy Daniels and Donald Trump.

House Committee on Oversight and Reform chair Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) wrote to former Fox News reporter Diana Falzone last month demanding that she turn over any documents relating to Trump’s alleged extramarital affairs.

An article in the New Yorker last month alleged that Fox News executive Ken LaCorte spiked the story to protect Trump — a claim LaCorte has vehemently denied, saying the story lacked corroborating evidence and that the network was merely practicing responsible journalism, as were other outlets who declined the story.

That article seems to have motivated Cummings’s letter — a letter that not only seeks personal dirt on the president, but seeks information that might be used to review Fox News’ editorial decisions. The committee’s letter suggests that Fox News may have violated campaign finance rules if it tried to help Trump by suppressing the Daniels story.

Falzone has said she will cooperate with the committee, despite an agreement with Fox that prevents her from speaking about the story. In an op-ed at Mediaite, LaCorte says he supports Falzone’s desire to talk about the story publicly, but that he will refuse to cooperate with the committee’s effort to exercise oversight over the free press.

LaCorte writes (original link):

Falzone’s lawyer announced that she would comply with the committee. I won’t.

If House Oversight can launch an investigation based on the ridiculous notion that publishing, or even more bizarrely not publishing, a story can be construed as an in-kind campaign contribution, then no journalist in America is safe from government intimidation. It’s a vast overreach of power, and I won’t have any part of it.

To be clear, I fully support Fox News lifting Falzone’s non-disclosure agreement so that she can make her case publicly, without leaks or lawyers. But neither editorial decisions nor joke writing should be a subject of government approval.

Collusion? Obstruction? Nah, let's just try and dig up any piece of dirt we can find to throw at the wall. I loathe Cummings because he's a retarded American hating POS.

And its the height of hypocrisy for Dem's to try and scream foul on FOX. There's about a metric ton of BS CNN, NBC, MSLSD, and the others not only didn't report about Barry the Wonder Putz, but that they willingly buried.

^^^^^^^ not to even mention Hillary, Comey, etc...

They tried something like this in 2013. The article is long but here's a little of it.

A Senate panel's action advancing a media-shield law has sparked a heated debate over whether it is the role of Congress to define who qualifies to be a journalist.

The main point of controversy surrounded an amendment by California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, whose definition of a journalist would limit those receiving the legal protection. Feinstein said a definition was needed because she didn't want to extend the media protections to certain types of writers.

Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh blasted the measure, asserting that the shield law is evidence of a desire by Democrats to set up "licensing" of reporters.

"So the government will decide who's a journalist and who isn't and grant licenses and approvals. And if you don't get your license and you start doing journalism, you could be sent to jail, or you could be reprimanded," Limbaugh contended.

So CNN and MSNBC will be the shining beacon of truth. They have been trying as well as Democrats to shut down FOX.

Whatever leftists accuse you of, they are likely guilty of.

Collusion? That'd be the Clinton campaign with Steele and Russian sources.

Fascism? That'd be the democrats and their stifling of free speech and other rights.

Intolerance? That'd be the SJW crowd of screeching losers getting offended at everything.

Racism? That's the left's low expectations and low opinions of the poor minorities that need their help because they can't take care of themselves.

Enemy of the media? Yeah.

Every time.

FTS! They should tell em as much.

So much for the first amendment

Apparently the House of Representatives believes that it runs the country now.

Why the Second Amendment is second.

I honestly didn't believe that this could be true; that the dems were actually capable of this. But apparently this is absolutely true. They are really doing this. Incredible.

Elijah Cummings is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Bret? He's pretty even keel. When have you ever seen blatant bias from Bret?

Juan is just a douchebag contributor and is billed as a partisan Democrat. That's his job there.

Shep however is supposed to be a news guy, but he most certainly is not. He belongs at MSNBC.

I would tell them “Fuck off commie”. I would use that exact language.

There's a bunch of leftists on Fox nowadays. Cathy Areu, Leslie Marshall, Jessica Tarlov (I can't stand her voice!), Richard Fowler and Marie Harf to name a few. There's more but you get the idea. Personally, I thinks it's a good thing to hear both sides in a discussion. They only solidify my positions on current affairs.
