On: FCC chair suggests agency isn't independent, word cut from mission statement

> Saying you can't vote for the head of the FCC is like saying that you can't vote for the Secretary of State.

The Secretary of State serves at the pleasure of the president.

You're arguing that FCC commissioners shouldn't.

Where are you reading that in my comment?

My inference was that you were suggesting that the "independent FCC commissioner" was just as subject to control by elected officials as the Secretary of State because both are appointed by elected officials.

That's why I pointed out that the Secretary of State can be fired at whim by an elected official while the "independent FCC commissioner" can't.

I apologize if my inference was incorrect.
