Our expectations of Joe Biden were low, but where is he coming up with these nominees? Sure, lots of people criticize Fox News as “propaganda,” but should a person who believes that actually serve on the Federal Communications Commission? This is an FCC nominee.
Sen. Roy Blunt asked nominee Gigi Sohn about old tweets of hers that called Fox News “state-sponsored propaganda” with few if any opposing viewpoints and who said that for all her concerns about Facebook, “I believe that Fox News has had the most negative impact on our democracy.”
Sohn explained the context to Blunt and said her words were a little “sharp.”

Just find somebody else.
She’s lying. Period.

She is so full of crap it is running out her eyes.
Typical radical leftists who will lie about anything and everything just to gain power.— Kerry 🇺🇸 (@K1erry) December 2, 2021
Wow! Suddenly, context matters. Who would have thought!

So you were an advocate but now that you'll have the direct power to fulfill what you were advocating for.. you're not going to let your past advocacy dictate your actions? pic.twitter.com/RBhLCrz9X0

I wonder who is stupid enough to believe her statement that her opinions as a public internet advocate (whatever the hell that is) will not influence how she behaves as a policymaker? Her stupid opinions are her policy.

Her statement; "My values will not affect my policies".

Great question. “Is Fox News the only state sponsored propaganda?” Shocker, she avoids the question.

We’re pretty sure if you’re looking for state-sponsored propaganda with no time given to opposing viewpoints, there’s an NPR station in your city.
There seems to be a pattern to Biden's executive appointments.

“Anyone that knows me knows I’m pretty direct”
Translation: “I’m a jerk just to shock people but when called out, I’ll make excuses”

The glasses alone are sufficient reason she shouldn't be confirmed.

“Yeah, chief, I did say I hate minorities in those tweets, but in fairness that was a completely different context. I can guarantee you my personal opinions will have no bearing on how I perform my duties as a police officer”

"Every thing that I have thought and said in the past will not have ANY bearing on what I do". If anyone believes that, they need psychiatric help.

Wait? Is this person a mean tweeter? Can't have that!

No mean tweets from this administration!
Disqualified. Next.
