The article criticizes the new FCC chairman Brendan Carr for focusing on punitive actions against media companies instead of addressing critical issues in the telecom sector such as price gouging and privacy failures. Rather than initiating substantive investigations, Carr's behavior is characterized as politically motivated harassment against journalists and networks for unfavorable coverage concerning the Trump administration. The piece suggests that the FCC's regulations are being misapplied to silence media, which ought instead to be tackling more pressing telecom industry monopolies and failures.
There's simply no limit of problems in telecom and media that competent FCC regulators could be taking aim at.
Instead of tackling any of this, new Trump FCC boss Brendan Carr has spent the lion's share of his first months in office engaged in erratic authoritarian zealotry.
