Far-right network OAN retracts false story about Michael Cohen affair with Stormy Daniels
The far-right cable network One America News retracted a story and apologized Monday after it falsely claimed former President Donald Trump’s ex lawyer Michael Cohen was the one who had an affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels and secretly used it to “extort” the Trump Organization.
You're viewing a single thread.
It’s beyond reason that they’re fabricating falsified news about a person that is in court testifying that he paid for fabricated falsified news. The FCC needs to do its job and stop waiting for civil court to do it for them.
Is OAN over the air? If they're on cable, FCC probably doesn't have this kind of jurisdiction.
(Same reason HBO and Skinemax can show nudity).
The FCC regulates communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable across the United States.

From here:
First, the regulation applies only to the broadcast medium, which means that the FCC has no power to enforce it against cable news networks, newspapers or newsletters (whether online or print), social media platforms, online-only streaming outlets or any other non-broadcast news platform.
Damn. That’s a big run around of neutered power. Looks like all we have are civil suits.
What the actual fuck.
