The FAA shuts down Fox News drone access
#1
Apparently the FAA is Washington’s “do boy”… Fox News has been at the Texas border for 7 months, using a drone for footage regarding illegal immigrants gathering under a bridge.. Apparently, it has grown dramatically and footage from a drone was used to show the crowd..
Someone in Washington isn’t happy as the FAA imposed a “no flight” in that area for 2 weeks… “out of the blue…”
If someone was smart, they would leave THEIR drone on the ground and say… find other ways to get footage.. say maybe from someone else .. possibly anonymously..
What is the FAA gonna say …”you have to give us your sources”?…

We want to warn our viewers that the following footage may cause nausea. Not for humanitarian reasons but because who ever recorded this footage did a lot of barrel rolls and inverted spinny moves to record the scene.

I'm surprised Fox 'news' was able to take a break from spreading vaccine conspiracy theories, and evidence-less clams of "stolen election hurrr durr" long enough to cover something else...

Although they never miss a chance to try to drum up some good old white grievance. This will just get them back to talking about the "deep state" trying to shut them down, lol

Also, they knew before flying their drones there it is illegal to fly the boarder.

I read the last post and think it sure would be nice when people start waking up to the fact that ALL of mainstream news is garbage (speaking for USA, though I'm sure it's the same elsewhere). It's all narrative they're selling, same with the two political party system they're championing for. It seems the only goal of theirs is to keep us busy arguing with each other and sewing division. Sadly it's working amazingly now more than I've ever seen in my 44yo lifetime, disheartening even.

Oh and call the other gov entities "deep state" or whatever term you like, those unelected bureaucrats like the FAA. This hobby is clearly not a fan of the FAA's purview with us. Yeah I roll my eyes too at the FN take on the story as they've seemed to have no problem providing pictures of said event already.

Well, apparently Fox News applied for a waiver that day and got it..
So who knows …. Bardwell and Blunty recently discussed this and explained how this works pretty clear.. if your interested check out “Fpv news with Joshua and it’s Blunty”..
