Jesse Watters Urges Trump to Appoint Sean Hannity to FCC

Host of Fox News Jesse Watters joked that the former president Donald Trump he should name a colleague Sean Hannity to the Federal Communications Commission if they win, so they can “butt heads” and “grab licenses” from other cable networks.

In recent weeks, Trump has stepped up his threats against the news media, calling for the broadcast licenses of networks he deems unfavorable to be “terminated” – name CBS, ABC, NBC and CNN.

In Sunday’s episode of The FiveWatters laid out his own idea of ​​how Trump, should he win the election, could implement his plan through an FCC restructuring that includes a promotion for his Fox News colleague Hannity.

Co-host Greg Gutfeld mocked from Comedy Central Saturday Night Live for “comedy welfare for the Democratic nominee” after the show hosted the vice president Kamala Harris last weekend.

Watters joined in, echoing the FCC commissioner Brendan Carr in sandblasting SNL for violation of the “equal time” rule. – requiring equal time given to both political candidates by licensed broadcasters to avoid pre-election bias.

(Harris) should have (Joe) Rogan and she did that instead and that tells you everything about the harris campaign and the symbolism of breaking the law to hurt trump tells you what they did and what they will do if he wins. They should have invited Donald Trump, it would have been funnier, it would have gotten better ratings, but they are willing to sacrifice their mission, which is laughs and profits, to hurt Trump.

I really don’t think it matters because it’s too late, it’s not like this is going to change anyone’s mind, but it shows that Trump has to go through the rigged system to win, regardless. 60 minutes or biased debate moderators (at ABC’s presidential debate) or something. And when he wins, he’ll make it sweeter.

Continuing to call on Trump to reform the FCC, Watters said:

Glenn Greenwald he was on my show and he said a lot of his friends in the mainstream media say they think the mainstream media is pro-Trump, they think the network and the producers, the writers, they think they’re actually biased in his favor Trump. These are the kind of people they were dealing with.

So when Trump says we’re going to have to pull licenses, it’s because these people are political operatives, they’re not journalists. If Donald Trump wins, I expect him to appoint someone really powerful to the FCC, like Hannity, so he can butt heads and rip off licenses.

The suggestion drew laughter from colleagues, before the co-host Dana Perino joked: “Talk about choose your own adventure.”
