Oh man...since when does right leaning broadcasting stations such as Newsmax and OAN believe the lyin' leftwing nut Gigi Sohn. The reason Newsmax and OAN are backing this commie fool for the FCC commissioner is...she promised them (with her fingers crossed behind her back) that she will not go after them if she is confirmed. Newsmax and OAN hopes Gigi Sohn will go after their competitors Sinclair and Tribune Media according to Axios.

I never trusted or will I ever trust Newsmax, now I have to admit I was a little drawn back that OAN is mentioned backing Gigi Sohn as the FCC commissioner. This whole thing just doesn't make sense unless the Axios article is correct.
Newsmax and OAN Back Far-Left Pick for FCC Commissioner Who Wants to Censor Conservative Channels
One America News (OAN) and Newsmax are backing Joe Biden's far-left, radical pick for FCC commissioner, Gigi Sohn, despite the fact that she and the organization she co-founded have called for the blacklisting of conservative broadcasters — including OAN.
Gigi Sohn has made a number of public statements that should alarm conservatives. She has called for the Sinclair Broadcasting Group, a conservative-owned network of local broadcasters, to be stripped of its license. She has called for an investigation into Fox News, which she has called "dangerous to our democracy" and "state-sponsored propaganda."
And the organization she co-founded, Public Knowledge, has called on cable and satellite providers to censor OAN, the same conservative broadcaster that is now backing her nomination.
Axios suggests that Newsmax and OAN might be backing the far-left nominee, despite her open hostility to conservative media, because they view the Sinclair Broadcasting Group — a top target of Sohn's — as a competitor. OAN and Newsmax both opposed the attempted merger between Sinclair and Tribune Media, a position also taken by Sohn.
In a comment to Breitbart News, a Newsmax spokeswoman said the network had received assurances from Sohn that she would not use her power to censor conservative media.

Did some research on this, and it's not quite as it seems. For one, the Right is not about to get what we want and sometimes it's better to get the Devil you know, than the one you don't.
Oh, and the fact that Lyndsey Ghramnasty is against her, makes me think Newsmax and OAN know something we don't.

So genius, tell us which Biteme pick should they back? You do know, it's not as if they have the power to block any of them. You did know that, Right.

None? She is going to enforce "net neutrality" so far to the left the internet will be a left wing group. You also bring up a really good point. With 50 senate votes we cant block anything. 51 and 218
I also have some news for Newsmax and OAN. My local station WNIS is part of the Sinclair group. Besides hosting the usual national conservative hosts they have an incredible morning show from 6-10am featuring local hosts. They have been the only media voice in the state ripping corona restrictions and mandates. Newsmax and OAN can stick it if they support a communist leftist just so they can take down Sinclair. If those dumbasses dont realize she will come after them they will get what they deserve. One guy on the morning show, Attorney Mike Imprevento,did an awesome job this morning explaining all the various court victories over Biden's shot mandates and how its very likely they will continue. Honestly, he and Tony Machrini along with Kerry Dougherty are brilliant. They would do well nationally.

You don't seem to grasp reality very well, that if they don't act now, the left, will no doubt, select a real Commie.
How is it you can't see this?

In this case I'll take the devil we don't know....this dirty filthy commie is backed by George Soros and she should have to back all her anti statements against Conservatives venues during her conformation hearing. Gigi Sohn is owned by Soros, he's her puppet master just waiting to do the work of the devil himself George Soros.
