Worst. FCC. Ever.
“This is not populism; this is a plutocracy. Trump has surrounded himself with millionaires and billionaires, plus some ideologues who believe in, basically, no government.

And just all sorts of things up and down the line. The whole panoply of regulation and public interest oversight – if they could get rid of it all, they would; if they can, they will.”
