FCC Chair Vows to Punish 'Sacrificial Lambs' of Free Speech with License Revocations
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has stated that he would be willing to revoke media broadcast licenses of major companies if he believes they are being used in a way that does not serve the public interest, signaling a willingness to take bold action against what he calls 'sacred cows'.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has stated his willingness to yank media broadcast licenses from major companies, saying that these licenses are not 'sacred cows' and can be revoked if he and President Donald Trump deem it necessary. The comments came in an interview published Monday, indicating a significant shift in the FCC's approach to regulating the media industry. Carr's remarks have sparked concerns among media executives and free speech advocates about potential government interference with the industry's operations. The move would give the FCC significant leverage over major broadcasters and cable networks.
