Congressman Mark Alford
[March 22, 2025]
Introducing the 119th Congress Broadcaster’s Caucus! [….]
As a longtime TV news reporter, including anchoring Kansas City’s top morning news show for nearly twenty-five years, I’m proud to help lead the Broadcaster’s Caucus this Congress!
Our time in the media gave us a front-row seat to the stories that impact our constituents’ lives, as well as insight into how misguided public policy can harm the local radio and TV stations Missourians rely on.
We look forward to working with Co-chairs @repFlood, @repSoto, and @repBoyle to educate our colleagues, bridge the partisan divide, and solve the issues that matter to the broadcasting community.

Oh, how exciting. Do tell us more.

Gee, tell us how the people who have the loudest microphones and unlimited reach are so very unrepresented and voiceless.

What a tool.

Some of the responses:

“Broadcasters” who are OK with eliminating the FIRST AMENDMENT if 47 doen’t “LIKE” it… wow… y’all are an embarrassment to actual broadcasters.

We can’t afford rent. We can’t afford groceries. We can’t afford rising property taxes. Our taxes are going up. Our Social Security is in limbo.
But you’ll get to be on TV more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How freaking out of touch are you?

just when you think he can’t embarrass the district any further, he does this.

There was the SWAT thing.

Grow a backbone and stand up for America, instead of licking the taint of your traitorous shitstain on American history cult leader.

You’re not a broadcaster. You’re not a preacher. You’re a Representative. Do your job.

This is what happens when MILLIONAIRES and BILLIONAIRES are on Trump’s cabinet. They have ZERO clue what would happen if Social Security checks were not sent.

Tackling the important issues once again. (That’s sarcasm.)
You said you left your TV job because being a conservative Christian in the media had not been easy, and your voice in the newsroom was diminishing. (Eye roll) The reality is that you wanted to push your beliefs into the news and not remain neutral. When running for office, you said you wanted to use your communication skills to amplify conservative voices in Washington.
Now you’re building your demo reel for your dream job at Newsmax, Fox or OAN.

YOU want to ‘bridge partisan divides’?
Maybe YOU should start with YOU! Be a real leader!
I’m all for it, but this is laughable with the divisive shit you constantly post.

How about speaking up about Rump’s control of the press pool at the White House. He is not allowing press members who are exercising their free speech and freedom of the press. He is also belittling press members who don’t ask softball questions or who write unfavorable stories about him. Just another sign of an authoritarian dictator.

What a joke. You are in DC to serve your constituents, not audition for TV jobs.

That’s all you do, dude. Videos and suck up to trump. Reporting to doge goons as a waste of taxpayer funds. We really need to elect a cat to our district. It would accomplish so much more.

What a joke. In other words, you are courting Fox, Newsmax, etc so you can get a job in 2 years?

Does this mean you will fight for or against the big corporate media conglomerates buying all of the local TV and radio stations?

Too late.

Please let me know when you have your town hall in Waynesville. As a constituent I can’t wait to hold you ACCOUNTABLE.

When’s the next townhall Mondays with Mark?

State propaganda for Dear Leader.

If you beat a Capitol police officer with their own shield in an effort to overturn a free & fair election, you go free, but if you vandalize an electric car, you get 20 years in an infamously brutal El Salvadoran prison.

That’s their plan.

Why the hell do we need a broadcasters caucus. Sounds ridiculous.

Mark Alford (r) has priorities.

The Goebbels caucus?

This is so embarrassing

Could we get front row seats to see you kissing Der Fuhrers Ass?
