  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Donald Trump's Federal Communications Commission may be taking on The View amid a new crackdown demanding equal time for candidates in elections.

The show - which has long taken shots at Trump - reportedly ran afoul of FCC Chairman Brendan Carr on Monday when they hosted Texas Senate candidate James Talarico.

Talarico, a Democrat currently running a primary campaign against Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, appears to have set off Carr's alarm on the new emphasis on equal time.

In January, the FCC demanded that daytime and late-night TV talk shows featuring interviews with political candidates must comply with 'equal time' rules that give airtime to views of opposing candidates and that the shows cannot rely on a 2006 decision that suggested they were exempt.

Continued below.

Weaponization of the Federal government. What Republicans feared is their own doing.

They better pray that democrats will not respond accordingly. A line was crossed when California copied Texas' Gerrymandering scheme. They stopped playing nice to bullies.

Hopefully, if Democrats get control, they will tighten up the laws that Trump is exploiting and strip the President of powers intended for Congress.

Talarico is running against another Democrat, so how is this a matter of "equal time"? The Fairness Doctrine has to do with matters of public debate. Talarico mostly speaks as a public intellectual, political strategist, and public theologian, not a debater.

The administration no doubt finds a man of faith that they can't buy to be threatening. He speaks with a moral clarity that the evangelical establishment in the US abandoned a long time ago.
