This is monumentally stupid. FCC has no authority over streaming service, which individuals pay for. Sounds like he would support censoring newspapers he doesn’t like, or paid speaking engagements. The moving camera stuff is just deranged.

He's right about the media. Rare to hear such clear-sighted criticism.

Here’s the whole thing. What I said tonight was a muted version of what I was actually feeling, even when I threw the script which surprised me too.

Wow, Kamala Harris just destroyed a heckler

@TheWrap You ignored the perfect choice: Jason Sudeikis, the best Biden they ever had.

#SaturdayNightLive has already booked Maya Rudolph to return as Kamala Harris, but who should play her newly named running mate, Midwestern nice guy and governor of Minnesota Tim Walz?

Before the debate, I saw megawatt smiles inside MSNBC's 30 Rock studio. What about after the debate? That's what I wrote about in this guest column for @Variety 👇🏼 https://t.co/MIQCOWqhsZ
