Gigi Sohn said it is a "sad day for our country and our democracy when dominant industries, with assistance from unlimited dark money, get to choose their regulators.”
On this edition of Your Call, we discuss why public advocate Gigi Sohn asked President Biden to withdraw her nomination to the Federal Communications Commission. In a statement, she wrote, “When I accepted this nomination over 16 months ago, I could not have imagined that legions of cable and media industry lobbyists, their bought and paid for surrogates, and dark money political groups with bottomless pockets would distort my over 30-year history as a consumer advocate into an absurd caricature of blatant lies." “I hope the President swiftly nominates an individual who puts the American people first over all other interests. The country deserves nothing less." Advocates also blame Democrats for failing to defend Sohn.
