FULL SPECTRUM CULTURE

Not only is this threat despicable, but it’s also incompetent: A TV network doesn’t have a broadcast license. The dozens of local network affiliates have the broadcast licenses. They would have to revoke the license of each and every local affiliate of ABC in order to do what they are threatening to do. I don’t think that would play too well in Peoria two months before a congressional election.

From the American Thinker:

Nixon was a piker. This is a threat far more direct than ever made by the Nixon Administration on the TV licenses of the Washignton Post about which so much was made in the Watergate affair. But it is just business as usual for the party that thinks they can do what they want without consequence. If this had been issued by the Nixon Administration, we would still be reading about in it the history books as the next-to-last step to a fascist takeover of the Republic.
