Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr said in an interview published Monday that he is willing to penalize major media companies if he and President Donald Trump believe they are “out of line.”
The Wall Street Journal described Carr as a maverick, saying he has embraced Trump’s “showman instincts” to hold broadcasters accountable.
While previous FCC chairs were often reluctant to rein in major companies, Carr said he would pull broadcast licenses from any outlet he believes has engaged in misconduct against the “public interest.”
“Broadcast licenses are not sacred cows,” Carr told the outlet.
Carr, who has been with the FCC since 2017, said the agency is “fully aligned with the agenda that President Trump is running.”
He said Trump has set the tone for the government’s approach to media companies, stating, “President Trump ran directly at the legacy mainstream media, and he smashed a facade that they’re the gatekeepers of truth.”
Let the screams of TYRANNY begin!!!!!! Back to your safe spaces!!!!!
