FCC's Carr Defies Predecessors, Vows to Continue Newsroom Investigations

RO

23 hours ago7 min read7 comments

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr has firmly rejected a bipartisan call from four former agency chairs—including three Republicans—to halt the Commission's ongoing probes into newsroom practices. The former leaders warned that the investigations threaten First Amendment rights and editorial independence.Carr, however, defended the inquiries as a necessary examination of potential algorithmic biases and market distortions that could impact public access to diverse viewpoints. This clash highlights a significant ideological divide over the FCC's role in the digital age, pitting concerns about government overreach against the perceived need to regulate the modern public square. The outcome of this standoff could influence global regulatory approaches to tech platforms and news organizations, while also exposing internal party debates over the limits of state power.
