Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr today urged broadcasters to join a “Pledge America Campaign” that Carr established to support President Trump’s “Salute to America 250” project.
Carr said in a press release: “I am inviting broadcasters to pledge to air programming in their local markets in support of this historic national, non-partisan celebration.” The press release said Carr is asking broadcasters to “air patriotic, pro-America programming in support of America’s 250th birthday.”
Carr gave what he called examples of content that broadcasters can run if they take the pledge. His examples include “starting each broadcast day with the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ or Pledge of Allegiance”; airing “PSAs, short segments, or full specials specifically promoting civic education, inspiring local stories, and American history”; running “segments during regular news programming that highlight local sites that are significant to American and regional history, such as National Park Service sites”; airing “music by America’s greatest composers, such as John Philip Sousa, Aaron Copland, Duke Ellington, and George Gershwin”; and providing daily “Today in American History” announcements highlighting significant events from US history.

Hope everyone is ready to be North Korea 2.0 or Russia 2.0 by the end of our lives.
Pro America like egalitarian policy of high taxes for the wealthiest individuals that was present for longer than the current system heavily dependent on the poorest and working class for taxes, less government interference and freedom of speech and journalism, separation of church and state, major civil works employing large numbers of people for jobs like highways and parks, natural conservatism, due process for all, imprisoning criminals like insurrectionists and pedophiles, inviting migrants the economy is dependent on & part of the national identity, and protests against government tyranny? Those kinds of pro American, non partisan policies? Or are they just fascist idiots who think patriotism = christian nationalist white supremacists patriarch hierarchy hegemony
Malicious compliance would just be airing in depth looks at the first 4th and 14th amendments. They’d be so so upset about it.
Start every broadcast show with a different song: Des colores, John brown’s body, this is America, basically anything by NOFX, etc
Maybe they should give us something to be patriotic about.
Holding our pedophile leaders accountable, for instance, is bound to inspire patriotism.
When does the two minutes of hate come in?
2 minutes? Right wing media already doing it 24/7/365.
I will STAND for the daily Cartoon Network Pledge of Allegiance. I will SALUTE my television alone in the dark.
The fuck more do they want?
