Like it or not, TV management needs to suck it up.

"Flying a drone", "video recording" and "posting videos on social media", are three separate and distinct activities.
The FAA is potentially interested in only one of those 3 activities.
State and federal laws, apply to the other 2.
The theme of the drone supporters seems to be, "it's legal per the FAA".
That's a red herring. Yes, flying the drone may be legal, what the drones and operators are doing, might not be.
