Carr has dedicated himself to the pursuit of Trump’s personal vendettas and supplanted normal FCC policymaking with censorship and coercion.

Bob McChesney was not just a scholar. He was an activist who co-founded the advocacy group Free Press.

The white-owned press didn’t just fuel the Tulsa Race Massacre; it also helped cover it up.

“I embarked on my First Amendment tour because I became alarmed by the campaign of control and censorship that I saw this administration embarking on,” said FCC Commissioner Gomez.

It’s very dangerous for a government official to be abusing FCC authority to try and suppress journalism and free speech.

“Nexstar has been licking its chops at the prospect of this merger-friendly FCC willing to bend the rules to create a massive broadcast conglomerate,” said Free Press VP Matt Wood.

“Public broadcasting provides free, publicly accessible news and information that fills a critical need for residents of the state,” said Free Press Action’s Mike Rispoli.

The $6.2 billion deal would also violate the FCC’s few remaining local-ownership limits in nearly 30 markets. In some, it would leave Nexstar in control of three of the top-four-ranked stations.

The president’s attacks on Seth Meyers aren’t new, but the FCC chairman’s public backing is alarming First Amendment advocates.

Rispoli called on lawmakers to affirm and expand their decades-long commitment to the essential role that public broadcasting plays in the lives of their constituents.
