Kennedy Explains "Weird" Deal

Watch Senator Kennedy explain how the Biden administration fast tracked Soros' application to buy over 200 radio stations without the proper investigations being done.

I have to give it to Kennedy, he is on top of things.

Now that the Republicans are in charge and the FCC will have a 3-2 majority, maybe Soros will be forced to sell WWL - AM and other stations Biden's cronies gifted him.

This is nothing but political patronage. It can be reversed. The Public owns the airwaves.

Do we really want Marxists to own the Flagship radio station of New Orleans and Louisiana?

Oh I imagine Kash Patel and Pam Bondi have some things planned for the Soros network.

WWL was the original home of Rush Limbaugh in NOLA.

I don’t know who’s worse, WWL or The Advocate. We could use some conservative ownership of these two companies.

WWL is a 50,000 watt station that can be heard almost Coast to Coast.

It's the flagship station for the New Orleans Saints and for years was for the LSU Tigers.

Having a Marxist who hates America own the station that controls the content broadcast in Louisiana is a BIG DEAL.

Stop reading the Advocate and listening to WWL. I did years ago. If enough do, they will sell or close.

Original owner was The Society of Jesus - the Jesuits. The ‘L’ was for Loyola. I’m not sure when they sold it off, but I guess this sort of brings them full circle in a way. Although, I don’t suppose the American Jesuits really hated America as much as Soros.

If they're productive and bring value to the American people, let them stay.

But the others like Soros, I really would like to see DJT and administration dog-walk these foreign influencers out of the country.

He and his family have been nothing but trouble for this country.

Kennedy also said when foreign entities want to make this type of purchase a year long investigation takes place.

The dissenting Republican FCC members wanted a full investigation before the purchase but the Democrats wanted this pushed through before Trump got into office.

People who work. People who drive around New Orleans. People who listen to New Orleans Saints games. People who listen to LSU Football games.

Sorry, I don't want a Marxist to control the airwaves of Louisiana.

Back in the day, you couldn't own more than 7 FM and 7 AM stations.
