Investigate FCC Chairman Carr's Corruption and Abuse of Power

Investigate FCC Chairman Brendan Carr and demand real answers from him about his record of weaponizing the agency against the public interest. At a House Commerce Committee oversight hearing this week, Carr refused to answer direct questions about his efforts to silence the president's critics in the media, install so-called "bias monitors" inside private companies, and pressure Paramount into a settlement that funneled tens of millions of dollars to the president. That is not regulation. That is corruption. Carr has also moved to allow unprecedented media consolidation over local broadcasting, attacked affordable-broadband programs, and urged TV newsrooms to shape their coverage to please the Trump administration. When asked whether he even has the legal authority to let a handful of companies dominate the public airwaves, he said only that he was "looking into it." Congress passed laws to prevent exactly this. Carr's evasion at the hearing was not a minor procedural dodge. It was a chairman telling Congress he answers to no one. The FCC exists to serve the public, not to serve as a political weapon for any administration. Carr has twisted that mission beyond recognition. Demand full, on-the-record answers about his actions, and use every oversight tool available to rein in this abuse before more damage is done.
