Brenden Carr wants you to praise America [View all]

Well, at least your TV.

One example they give: "Starting each broadcast day with the 'Star Spangled Banner' or Pledge of Allegiance."


Brenden Carr wants broadcasters to "volunteer" to take the pledge America pledge and from Memorial Day of this year until July 4th of next year, play all kinds of whitewashed versions of history that "only promote America's greatness".

Nothing says "celebration" like tens of thousands of people being held in warehouses and federal agents gunning people down in the streets while the country is run by a bunch of billionaire pedophiles that are openly stealing billions of dollars and laugh at poor people.

These people are truly the dumbest assholes I've ever heard of in my life.

Reference:

Trump's FCC Chair Brendan Carr announces the "Pledge America" campaign — urging broadcasters to air "patriotic, pro-American programming" for America's 250th birthday.

One example they give: "Starting each broadcast day with the 'Star Spangled Banner' or Pledge of Allegiance."
