FCC’s Latest Bright Idea

The FCC just launched the ‘Pledge America Campaign’, because what America really needs is more propaganda. They’re urging broadcasters to create ‘patriotic, pro-America’ programming as the country approaches its 250th anniversary. Because, you know, we’re all just dying to watch more shows about how great America is.

The Trump Card

According to the campaign, broadcasters should focus on ‘the historic accomplishments of this great nation from our founding through the Trump Administration today.’ Yeah, because nothing says ‘great nation’ like a president who tweets about his TV ratings. It’s not like we have better things to watch, like paint drying or something.

It’s worth noting that this campaign won’t be enforced, but it’s still a pretty blatant attempt to sway public opinion. And who knows, maybe we’ll even get some new, exciting shows out of it. But let’s be real, it’s probably just going to be a bunch of cheesy, patriotic nonsense that we’ll all forget about in a week.
