follows “unrelenting, dishonest and cruel attacks” seeded by cable and media industry lobbyists. The decision is a devastating blow to the Biden administration, whose ambitious internet agenda has been locked in limbo for more than two years, amid a deadlock at the FCC.

At last hearing, she seemed very competent, knowledgeable, an expert in the field. I wrote my Senators (not on the committee) about the attitudes of certain senators. Do they want someone competent or a 'good buddy' in this position? Have hearings always been so brutal?
President Biden should have supported Gigi Sohn and installed Gigi Sohn as FCC’s chairperson without confirmation!
But not from being exposed as an activist and conservative hater. How many lies does it take before yoir nomination is droped
Thank God she was revoked again
I mean maybe we should be making corporate lobbyist lives a living hell in public... It's easy enough they have to register. Turnabout is fair play, right?
If she is chosen, businesses will move OUT of America. But you don’t understand.
LOL, LMAO even
Can she be appointed as acting?
Our stacked Right GOP FCC decades ago 'allowed this same GOP to delete the fairness doctrine from news reporting, which opened the barn door for GOPMurdoch/Fox
Has joe hired one competent or qualified appointee? Will he pick a D. student pilot based on skin color? Oh… another hypocrite!!!!
Biden seeks out people who all have a slightly bizarre demeanor, from the Lightfoot, Kamala, Buttigieg, Fetterman, Mayorkas, Garland school of the vaguely insane. Someone more unkind than I would call them freaks.
Gigi Sohn, a longtime public interest advocate and former FCC official who was first nominated by the White House in October 2021, said her decision to withdraw follows “dishonest and cruel attacks” seeded by cable and media industry lobbyists.
