Please file a complaint with the FCC about this blatant lie by Kaleigh McEnany. It has to stop

[Maraya1969]

Got that wrong. Here it says,
"File a complaint with the Federal Trade commission
https://consumer.ftc.gov/media/video-0054-how-file-complaint-federal-trade-commission


This important because I believe Biden's approval has gone down because they have been successful in making him look like he can't handle being president. It is just like they did with Hillary and the emails. They kept her under "investigation" for so long republicans, at least came to believe that she broke the law. This shit is what they do and we had better put an end to it.

EDIT - I have checked and it looks like they only deal with personal issues like being abused by telemarketers. If someone can find the proper source please do

1. Dems need to aggressively call out every damn GOP lie

That means us keyboard Dems, too, calling out the news "readers" who let this crap float by all the time unmolested with even the weakest factual challenge.

Stop up the sickening cessflow of GOP lies, and their Russian echo-bot comrades/

[The Wizard]

2. She is a girl from the village.

She is a presstitute.

[pfitz59]

3. Faux has done this since its inception

without a new 'Fairness Doctrine' there is no counter-weight

[Maraya1969]

11. But they had to pay almost a billion for lying about that voting machine company whose name escapes me

[SickOfTheOnePct]

17. Fairness Doctrine

would have done zero about Fox News because it’s cable, not broadcast.

[Maraya1969]

18. I just posted it there. And maybe gave the correct information

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

23. Fox would have been able to do that with the Fairness

Doctrine in place.

Really.

[Fiendish Thingy]

4. There's a new forum this post would be great in:

Liberal YouTubers:

6. Can I stick it in 2 places? Or would you stick it up for me?????

[Fiendish Thingy]

8. If you put your video posts in Liberal YouTubers, they'll still appear in "Latest" feed. Nt

[Maraya1969]

21. I did it. And I can't remember if I told you or not and I am too tired to look

[Caliman73]

5. Understand what you are saying, but filing a complaint with the FCC won't help.

All the bullshit that Fox News does, the lies, the deceitful editing, is protected speech, especially when done to a public official like the President. Fox got sued and lost to Dominion because it is a private company and they were able to show (or would have) that Fox lied intentionally, with malice, and that the lies caused damages to the company.

The irony of this situation is the Conservative idiot and crook, Clarence Thomas, has been making noise about weakening some of those protections in the First Amendment. He is doing it strictly for self serving interests. He wants to be able to threaten lawsuits against people filing accurate news about his corruption, but the unintended consequence of his desire would be to destroy Conservative media, which relies on lies for its business model. Of course, I am sure they would try to find a way to insulate Conservative media, but while mainstream media sometimes gets it wrong and sometimes overzealously jumps the gun, as I said, Conservative media relies on lies and misinformation to push its agenda.

[Maraya1969]

12. I don't care. If everyone just gives up we lose. But if some decide to make noise you don't know what will happen

[Caliman73]

13. It isn't about "giving up" or just "making noise" it is about being effective.

We need to pressure our legislators to do several things.

1. Money out of campaigning. We need to push for legislation limiting money in politics.
2. Challenging the idea that lying is acceptable in the press.
3. Using the existing system, threaten economic action against sponsors of networks that lie.

Tactics such as the above would be more effective than complaining to the FCC. The FCC also does not regulate cable news except for profanity, nudity, etc.. during daytime hours.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

16. I suspect they can't even do that.

The FCC also does not regulate cable news except for profanity, nudity, etc.. during daytime hours.

Anyone?

[brooklynite]

14. "If everyone just gives up we lose."

...and if you complain to the FCC you achieve the same thing.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

24. Oh FFS

It does no good to complain to the FCC about something said on a cable show.

Unbloodybelievable that, after the thousands of times this has been explained here, people still think the FCC gives a bloody toss about anything that happens on a cable station that isn't pornographic.

They don't! They never have! Even when there was a fairness doctrine, they didn't care what happened on cable outside of porn.

So stop thinking they care one bloody tit about this type of outrage du jour.

Because they don't--and never have.

[onenote]

7. Your link is to the FTC not the FCC

And the FCC doesn’t license cable networks or regulate their content so a complaint would be a complete waste of time

[Maraya1969]

19. I changed it in the other link that was suggested

[Silent Type]

9. Don't agree with her assessment, but I'm not sure you'll have any luck getting it deemed a lie. It's opinion,

and shared by a lot of GOPers, and a small number of Democrats.

I didn't watch the entire video, just the first part where McEnany expressed her opinion that Biden looked tired.

[Justice]

10. Kaleigh McEnany used to tout her Harvard Law degree but

Truth is she transferred to Harvard in year 3 of law school - went elsewhere in Florida for first 2 years. First two years are the hardest and most formative. The third year is full of electives and internships or similar projects. Kaleigh used to talk about being a Harvard law grad when she was on CNN.

A limited number of students transfer in year 3 (typically because of personal reasons) - and generally get their degree from the school they transferred from not the law school they transferred to). The reason is they are allowed to complete degree requirements at the new school but since the core of their work was done at the old school - the degree comes from the old school. In particularly to go from a school in Florida to Harvard - very unusual for Harvard to agree that the degree would come from HLS.

Anyway, Kaleigh does not frequently tout her HLS credentials anymore, now that she is on Fox. Today I thought - Kenneth Chesebro and Kaleigh both wasted time and money on a HLS degree that they tossed out the window.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

15. No. NT

[Maraya1969]

20. Thanks for sharing. NT

[Elessar Zappa]

22. FCC doesn't regulate cable.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

25. No matter how many times people point this out

Some determined souls either can't or won't accept reality.

[keithbvadu2]

26. One of Kaleigh's very first lies was that she would not lie.

[czarjak]

27. Ya gotta give Dagen some props for longevity on The Real Fake News Network.

Nice work if you can get it and she got it. NOT talking about the face work either. In particular. Will not mention that.

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

28. There is no alternative gov place to report her

She isn't breaking any law or regulations. Complain to the channels sponsors, that's about the only thing that could work.
