<p>Congressman <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/eric-swalwells-new-ad-shows-woman-arrested-dragged-away-from-her-kids-for-having-abortion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eric Swalwell</a> (D-CA) suggested on Saturday that despite not wanting to &#8220;get in the business of telling troops what they can and cannot watch,&#8221; he might be open to banning Fox News on military installations.</p>
<p>Swalwell joined MSNBC host Katie Phang on Saturday, and she fretted about the ongoing <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/dominion-sues-fox-news-for-1-6-billion-over-2020-election-coverage/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dominion</a> lawsuit and the &#8220;damage&#8221; she believed was being done by Fox News, asking whether Congress was ready to get involved.</p>

<p>&#8220;Has there been any discussions in Congress about maybe congressional oversight, regulations, maybe the FCC getting involved? I know we all respect the First Amendment, Congressman, but should there be some type of gatekeeping that happens so that this doesn’t happen again?&#8221; Phang asked.</p>
<p>Swalwell referenced a recent push from political action committee VoteVets to ban Fox News on military installations, adding that he understood it could be a particularly heavy lift because the network is popular with American service members.</p>
<p>&#8220;FOX hosts&#8217; election lies and disinformation splits the ranks, hurts unit cohesion, and weakens America&#8217;s national defense,&#8221; the PAC tweeted. &#8220;They must be removed from all TVs on military installations NOW.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Nothing makes them feel more like home than their access to American television programming,&#8221; he said</p>
<p>“I don’t want to get in the business of telling troops what they can and cannot watch,” he said. “But, if you have a news station that a court is going to rule is, in its evening hour, you know, perpetuating dis- and misinformation, I don’t know if I disagree with VoteVets, who was saying that we need to take a look at, you know, how this is being broadcast to our troops,&#8221; Swalwell continued.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don’t think we’re without complete recourse,&#8221; the California Congressman said, appearing to suggest that threats of Congressional oversight would be &#8220;an incentive for Fox News to clean up&#8221; programming that did not fall in line.</p>
<p>Democrats and a number of legacy media talking heads have spent much of the last week criticizing Fox News and popular host <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/j6-committee-chair-claims-members-didnt-have-access-to-footage-shifts-blame-to-staffers-and-abc-producer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tucker Carlson</a> over his broadcast of previously unseen footage from the January 6th riot on Capitol Hill.</p>
