For what it's worth the FCC doesn't have any control over FOX News or MSNBC or any other non over the air broadcast networks.
Rockefeller should know this being a Senator for all those years.
My conclusion is the majority of Congress doesn't know much, certainly not much about our US Constitution, and our rights, they know little about the law, and don't really care much about the rule of law either. That would include Obama too.
