Rosenworcel emphasized that the FCC should not serve as the President's speech police or as journalism's censor-in-chief, advocating for independence in broadcast licensing.
In her statement, Rosenworcel noted that the petitions attempted to weaponize the FCC's authority for political ends, which violates the principles of the First Amendment.
The petitions for revoking broadcast licenses were dismissed due to their political motivations, sending a message against any attempts to influence the agency for partisan purposes.
Rosenworcel argued that accepting the petitions would create a dangerous precedent, fundamentally conflicting with First Amendment rights, thus rejecting the political misuse of FCC authority.
