Aug. 28, 2023: Op Ed by Robert Kuttner in American Progress

In an August 28, 2023, essay, Robert Kuttner – co-founder and co-editor of the progressive publication The American Progress – gave his assessment of the WTXF broadcast-license dispute.

In filings and commentary stemming from MAD’s July 3 petition to the FCC, “a broad coalition asserts, with plenty of evidence hidden in plain view, that Fox fails the FCC’s character test” for broadcast-license ownership, Kuttner says.

“If the FCC does agree to a hearing on the merits, it’s hard to see how Fox can get its license renewed. And this challenge will be followed by 28 more, as Fox’s other licenses come up for rolling review. If Fox does get its license, we might as well scrap the FCC as meaningless.”
