Senate Democrats have criticized FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr for allegedly conducting politically charged investigations aimed at media outlets that do not align with President Trump's views. They point to Carr’s examination of a 60 Minutes interview with Vice President Harris and reviving complaints against major networks while notably excluding conservative Fox News. The senators claim these actions reflect an attempt to intimidate and control the press, urging Carr to respect the First Amendment. Recent investigations into PBS and NPR are also highlighted as examples of partisan motives affecting regulatory work at the FCC.
The lawmakers blasted the FCC's recent moves, arguing they amount to government interference in the press, particularly targeting media that don't align with Trump's views.
Taken together, these efforts appear politically motivated and designed to punish, censor or intimidate members of the free press based on political disagreement.
