The FCC, led by Chairman Brendan Carr, is showing an alignment with Trump’s political agenda, specifically through investigations into media outlets that have reported unfavorably about him. Although the FCC’s agenda appeared typical, Carr's active inquiry into CBS over an edited interview with Kamala Harris raises significant issues regarding press freedom. This stance contradicts previous FCC leadership that prioritized journalistic independence, illustrating how the dynamics of the agency have shifted under Carr's leadership, ultimately posing risks to media treatment and oversight.
"Carr's investigation into CBS reflects a troubling alliance between the FCC and the Trump administration, as it undermines journalistic freedom amidst political agendas."
"Despite Trump’s crackdown on media outlets, FCC chair Brendan Carr's proactive stance raises concerns about federal overreach into press freedoms and the implications of aligned interests."
