Ow?ocid=spartanntp I like Donald Trump. Nothing about this article is his fault. I'm tired of

Polls. I took a Statistics class at I.U.P.U.I. In that class Statistics theory claimed that some number like

1694 people is all that is necessary to contact to find out what 318 million people think. I didn't believe it

then and I've never believed it since.

Trump's description of a bathroom break as "disgusting" and his reference to his opponent as being

"schlonged" put him in the dangerous demigog position. He should not be al lowed to pollute the

airwaves with his vulgarity.

Dear Consumer,

(Please review the l inks below regarding paid service channels and their programming.)

Thank you for contacting the FCC to share your concerns about broadcast program material that you

find offensive. It is against federal law for a television or radio station to air obscene programming at

any time, or to air indecent or profane material during the hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. The FCC is

charged with enforcing the law that governs the broadcast of such material.

For the FCC to consider whether a licensee has violated these requirements of the law, a complaint

must relate to particular programming, rather than express a general opinion. To proceed on a

complaint, the FCC must have information that includes the station that aired the programming material,

the date and time of day of the broadcast, a recording, transcript or description of the material that was

broadcast. This will allow us to determine whether it is obscene, indecent or profane.

Your views and concerns about program material are important to us. To assist you further, we are

including links to information that discusses the law with respect to indecent, profane and obscene

broadcasts and our enforcement procedures.

We encourage you to convey your concerns, whether general or program-specific, directly to station

This complaint alleges a violation of the equal time rule

Dec 14, 2:50 PM

To Whom It May Concern,

With an 81:1 ratio of time given to Donald Trump vs time given to Bernie Sanders, there is an obvious

conspiracy by the major networks to black out coverage of Bernie. He won TIME Magazine's Person of

the year, getting twice the number of votes that

did. Social media is becoming a Bernie inferno that

chews up BS and spits out the truth, which is that the American People ARE paying attention to the

political revolution and that it is occurring right at this moment, as you read this. Interfering with an

election is a federal crime, and all the major networks are guilty. It's time to end the BS

Dec 22, 9:58 AM

Your complaint provides valuable information and is shared among FCC bureaus and offices to spot

trends and practices that warrant investigation and enforcement action. If the FCC needs more

information about your complaint, we will contact you directly.

Thank you for your help in furthering the FCC's mission on behalf of consumers.

Sen. Bernie Sanders has made big gains in Iowa, leads most New Hampshire polls and fares better

than Hillary Clinton in general election matchups against Donald Trump and other Republican White

House hopefuls.

But the insurgent campaign that has drawn the biggest crowds on the presidential campaign trail has

been all but ignored on the flagship television network newscasts, according to Tyndall Report, which

tracks nightly news coverage by NBC, CBS and ABC.

"The corporately-owned may not like Bernie's anti-establishment views but for the sake of American

democracy they must allow for a fair debate in this presidential campaign," said Jeff Weaver, Sanders'

campaign manager. "Bernie must receive the same level of coverage on the nightly news as other

leading candidates."

So, when....when will Sanders get the same time and coverage that Trump and Clinton are afforded??

Every independent poll (not run or paid by any candidate, corporation or party), continues to show

Sanders BEATING Hillary and pol ling higher than any Republican candidate as choice for our next

President.

Do the research. Talk to the public. You will see, unless you too ate being bought & paid for by a

candidate/party....

The network news outlets have been unfairly covering the presidential candidates in this election cycle.

An example of this disparity; "ABC World News" spent 81 minutes talking about Donald Trump, the

Republican front-runner, and only one minute on Sanders. So, with the Fairness Doctrine now defunct,

a bad decision in my opinion, what rules apply to equal coverage?

Dec 18 8:34 PM

Thank you for your submission. Your complaint provides the FCC with important information we can use

to develop policies to protect consumers, remedy violations of the Communications Act, and encourage

future compliance with the law.

We have attached a consumer guide that includes relevant information on the issue you have raised.

As such, no further action is required by the FCC. Your complaint was closed as of today.

Listen, I wrote Donald Trump and the RNC/Republican National Committee about the BAN with

MUSLIMS... According to Universal Research, we see that there is contradiction with republicans on the

ban due to the property development of the mosque and rental properties-condos, etc., @ ground

Donald Trump about my reports I sent him recently... I have also been working with CNN NEWS...

According to Universal Research we see that it might be necessary to recognize that Donald Trump and

Universal Research was trying to get media ratings hiked up financially for more media support. The

Muslim ban was the Universal application. The keyword: was "temporary ban". Mr. Edward D Drew

have attached pictures of Neil Cavuto on FOX News the day before the 11/10/15 Republican Debate.

Neil Cavuto odd looks somewhat like Donald Trump, like he and Donald are related. I got the

impression that he and FOX News wanted to influence people to support Mr. Trump. There are also

pictures of Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio graphics shown stating that the two of them are going up in the

polls.

Ted Cruz is shown on screen with Neil Cavuto, but Marco Rubio was shown a picture by himself. I

regret not taking video here. Looking now it appears that FOX News may also have been promoting

Ted Cruz over Marco Rubio.

This kind of TV is a cyber attack. My boss is the Lord Jesus Christ and his father God Almighty, the God

of Israel. Even when I work for somebody. If they aren't just I can never work for them. I have quit over

this many many times. I get extremely angry when anyone tries to put themselves above God. Now, I'm

without her.

CNN vicious attacks on Ben Carson caused severe consequences- it became national issue among

media & public even after Paris tragedy. CNN,FOX,OAN,MSNBC constantly every day still talking about

his past life, people on Twitter call him liar, making fun & insulting him, racism also present. Media let

Donald Trump openly insult Carson, things he said are discussing such as-" pathological liar, weak,

mentally insane, comparing him to child molester, calling him criminal, boring, not trusting

neurosurgeon, made fun of him in Texas, call him looser". Media said nothing. CNN went out to Carson

hometown to investigate his past by talking to his friends, calling his schools are they FBI? Who gave

them permission to invade privacy? Why they didn't investigate Trump? They damaged Carson

reputation & let Trump open his big dirty mouth even more What they did is a crime- defamation of

character & harassment. CNN pathetic actions left me no trust or respect for them. They must apologize

to Carson ASAP. Please take immediate actions to take care of this problem & make justice for Carson.

Those reporters should be fired. Thank you & I hope you will do the right thing

This Saturday, November 7th, Saturday Night Live is going to have Donald Trump as host. A few weeks

ago they had Hillary Clinton on. The show should be required to have all legitimate candidates on, or

none at all. By selectively having candidates on, they are giving free television time. This decidedly

gives an advantage to those who are given access to the show. They are not acting in the public

interest when they do this.

Received via: Radio

City/State/Zip: Sherman, Connecticut 06784

Description

am filing a complaint for the use of a profane language broadcasted by our local radio station,

WLAD Danbury, CT. This violation occurred durring the Todd Schnitt radio show at 3:49 PM Monday

August 10th 2015. The use of the tem "asshole" was used at that time by a caller while describing

Donald Trump after the Republican national debate. I find the language used by radio and TV over

public airwaves becoming more crass and vulgar over the the past several years and I look to the

FCC to enforce the decency standards that have been passed by congress in order to restore some

level of decency and civility to our culture.

Ticket: # 498138 - Fox News Conspiring to Ambush a Candidate in a Debate with the

Moderators in the debate

Date: 8/29/2015 7:21:59 AM

Received via: TV

City/State/Zip:

New

Orleans, Louisiana 70124

Description

Fox News & 3 Fox Anchors, Megyn Kelly, Chris Wallace & Brett Bair were moderators in the

Presidential debate they held. Together, they conspired to ambush one of the candidates in the

debate. The motive was to humiliate the candidate & cause him to lose voters. Debasing questions

were asked to Donald Trump votes beginning with the first question. Every question asked to

Donald Trump were humiliating statements turned into questions. Then they skipped over Trump &

asked all the other candidates valid questions pertaining to Presidential issues, as if Trump was

unqualified to even ask the question.

1 .

Details available in the recorded video of the debate.

2 .

An official who was on set during rehearsals has recounted that when Megyn Kelly practiced the

questions she was to ask Trump, a producer told her that "he'll go berserk." Kelly reportedly smiled

smugly, since that is actually what she wanted to happen.

In spite of this unethical conduct, Megyn Kelly had the audacity to go on TV and Lie. She blamed

Donald Trump & refused to apologize for what she called "Good Journalism."

BRIAN WILLIAMS WAS FIRED JUST FOR LYING.

It's sickening that the Fox moderators went into this debate planning to ambush Trump.

This was a conspiracy to manipulate voters in a Presidential Election.

It's deceptive, underhanded & unprofessional.

At minimum, it's a violation of an ethical code of conduct.

Date: 9/24/20158:01:01 AM

Received via: TV

City/State/Zip: Dayton, Ohio 45459

Description

am appalled that Rich Lowry of Fox News Channel would use such language to describe debate

results with Carly Fiorina. This is unprofessional and extremely vulgar to force viewers of the fine

news channel to listen to comments such as this. Rich Lowry has repeatedly shown a bias against

Donald Trump and this was his way of embarrassing him. He should pay a price for insulting the

American public in this manner. The full story on this is at www.lucianne.com

Donald Trump wants the FCC to fine a critical Fox News pundit

Donald Trump is still refusing to appear on the Fox News Channel -- but apparently his self-imposed

boycott doesn't prohibit watching the channel's shows. Trump exploded on Twitter on Wednesday

night after National Review editor Rich Lowry appeared on Fox and used some rather, well, colorful

language to describe exactly how Carly Fiorina bested Trump at last week's Republican presidential

debate. "Let's be honest: Carly cut his balls off with the precision of a surgeon -- and he knows it,"

Lowry said on The Kelly File. Host Megan Kelly was shocked. "You can't say that " she said, before

Received via: TV

City/State/Zip: Indiana, Pennsylvania 15701

Description

Any station or broadcaster that consider themselves and use or reference the term NEWS Must be

restricted to factual information only of at a minimum standard of at least 96%, failure to do so should

prohibit them from using the term NEWS, instead they must call themselves editorial networks,

stations, ect.. If they do fall into the news category, all editorials or opinions must be preceded and

followed by statements that it is not fact but editorial or opinion. On the FOX news analysis following

the second republican presidential debate Rich Lowry stated that Carly cut off Donald Trump's

*$#&%@ with the skill of a surgeon. This language was meant to shock the viewer with no purpose

other than to shock and offend. FOX news knew of his perpensity toward vulgarity yet they

intentionally chose him. It is for this reason that I feel FOX should be fined and no longer permitted to

use the term news in their advertising, slogans, ect. On the CNN show Legal View with Ashleigh

Banefield yesterday, when she and a guest were discussing Trumps boycott of FOX her guest said

that news reporters can say whatever they want, once again this is not news but editorial. The FCC,

in order to preserve at least some small bit of integrity and stop the slide of "news" programs into the

realm of pornography, must immediatly reestablish broadcasting restrictions and regulations.

am a republican but I am not voting for any of the republican slate of cantidates, of the poor choices

we have I am currently supporting Bernie Sanders.

Dear FCC, I feel that CBS radio is spreading hate speech and discrimination against minorities and

refugees by providing the xenophobic Donald Trump many minutes of air time to spread his hate while

not providing equal time to people with differing views to counter the hatred. Said time seems to

constitute an illegal promotion/commercial of a rich, hate-filled candidate without providing a counter

voice. Such hatred is rampant in our society and we see hate groups spreading their infectious ideas

with the help of the corporate media. Additionally, many minutes were provided for Ben Carson to

promote his seditious speech against the government. Lastly, the station promoted a right wing

congressman's (did not get his name) call for further right wing propaganda without providing equal air

time to the other side or people who do not hate the government. In light of all the mass shootings and

hatred of government, I see that absolute need to counter such propaganda in our "marketplace of

ideas" as described by fmr. Supreme Court Justice Oliver W. Holmes. If our democratic republic is in

peril (I do not believe this), then why are things going much better than under George W. Bush? I see

this as a possible violation of campaign laws, spreading hate speech/xenophobia, and an irrational

hatred of government by those elected to govern. Please look into this matter and at least make CBS

provide equal air time to (rational) voices to counter the ignorance we had to hear this morning. Thank

you for your time.

This is not the first time Jehmu has been in trouble with FOX for a loose tongue and vile language.

On July 19, 2015 at approximately 8:49 a.m. EDT, Jehmu Greene, with Fox News (internet) "Raw

Story", then seen on television by others at approximately 10:00 a.m., EDT, Jehmu used the term

"douchebaggery" concerning Donald Trump.

Since she has been called on this type of reporting before, I am specifically requesting that Fox either

be suspended until the situation is corrected, or at least that she be removed from the televised/internet

reporting industry permanently.
