Amid President Trump’s models against the media, a recent blow:
The head of the Federal Communications Committee appointed by Trump Beninan Brendan Car, this month in the giant cable Kuminast, who owns NBC and MSNBC for liberal deviation, in A message on x Above the tilt of news coverage on its TV channels.
Carxast was accused of turning his reports on Kilmar Abrago Garcia, a migrant who was accidentally deported to El Salvador. Trump claimed that Abigo Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang (which is what he denies) and the president has challenged the order of the judge to return it to the United States, which puts the administration an increasing dispute with the federal courts.
“I spent days for misleading the American audience – which implicitly means that the Ebgo Garcia was just an American citizen committed to him, and he is just a regular man” Maryland Man “.” Distorting the news does not cut it. ”
Within a few days, a legal group of Kokli Governorate has echoed in a petition requesting the Federal Communications Committee (FCC), which governs broadcasting licenses, the investigation whether Aberigo Garcia’s coverage of NBC, ABC and deformed facts.
The issue is another example of the dramatic Carrm from the low communication policy to one of the most cultural warriors in Trump.
Since he became Chairman of the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) in late January, Car has repeatedly paid the owners of companies in ABC, CBS and NBC – hates the president. Last fall, Trump filed a CBS lawsuit against the amendments in a 60 -minute pre -election interview with the then president of the will, Kamala Harris. Trump demanded $ 20 billion, claiming that the doctoral interview was made to make Harris look better. Trump said CBS should lose its licenses.

CBS ordered the delivery of raw clips to meet Harris. CBS has spanned and Outtakes has shown that Harris has been accurately transferred, which strengthened the CBS account that he had not manipulated the interview. But the case wandered by CBS Paramount Global and stopped the proposed sale of the company to David Elison’s Skydance Media.
Last week, a “60 -minute” president resigned, citing the pressure of companies that crushed his editorial independence.
Paramount said, in a statement, it considers a review of the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) and Trump’s lawsuit as separate issues. The company rejected more comment. FCC and Cart representative did not respond to the interview requests.
Conservatives said they believe that the main networks suffer from extreme liberal bias and intolerance towards opposing views. This led to the harm of America and led to a decrease in public confidence in the national news outlets, which confirms, adding that the intervention of the Federal Communications Committee may be justified.
“The Federal Communications Committee has moved away from the past decade or so from implementation [its] “The public interest obligations against the broadcasters,” Car said in a march. Interview with Punchbowl news that focuses on DC. He wants to restore the agency’s teeth.
“If the broadcaster has a problem with that … the FCC address is 45 liters of street, northeast,” Car said. “It can give us their licenses.”
However, Car critics said that the Federal Communications Committee enforcement authority (FCC) has been condemned to broadcasters in the name of the protection of freedom of expression completely.
“This is the question of Brendan Car: Are you now the person who decides what news should you cover and what should not be covered?” The former analyst and employee of the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) asked Blair Levin. “Because I do not see this in the law.”
The Congress established the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) in 1934 as an independent phone service organizer and a spectrum – the air waves used by broadcasters. The committee was supposed to be from the two parties with three commissioners from the President’s Sitt Party and two opposition. (The Fifth Commissioner, Trump’s candidate, is waiting for the Senate confirmation.)
Commissioners’ work Together this year on the main issuesIncluding Robocal curbing and promoting spectrum sharing among satellite systems. Other issues are more sad.
The 46 -year -old president has strong conservative proportions. He grew up in the Washington, DC, where his late father worked as a lawyer specializing in the crime of white collars and represented President Nixon.
Car graduated from Georgetown University, then he obtained a certificate in the law at the University of Catholicism, where he met his wife, Matshalag, who continued to be the Chief of Staff Kevin McCarthy when the Republic of California was the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
They are among the husbands the strength of the capital. Earlier this year, it joined Palantir Technologies, Palantir Technologies, as head of global policy.
Brendan Car has strengthened his profile two years ago by writing Chapter FCC in project 2025The right -wing plan for Trump’s term.
He devoted many of its 15 pages to its long priorities, including “curbing in large technology”, “promoting national security”, “economic prosperity” and “ensuring the accountability of the Federal Communications Committee (FCC).
There was no mention of the news.
Instead, Car stressed the availability of the electromagnetic spectrum for commercial use through public auctions, a program that has stopped to a large extent during the era of President Biden. CARR wants to make it easier for low -excitement industrial satellites to provide a high -speed internet, a priority that he shares with the founder of Billionaire Spacex Elusk to support Starlink Satellite fleet.
As Chairman of the Federal Communications Committee (FCC), Carr left any doubt on the Trump team. It was part of the VIP delegation with Trump and Moussa to see the launch of a SpaceX missile in Texas in November. He spent time in Mar-A-Lago, was transferred to Air Force One, and in a modern image, he was wearing a golden color in the size of the walnut The paint pin is in the form Trump’s head.
Car called to Congress to reduce funding for public radio and television stations.
He canceled diversity, shares and integration programs on his first mission as president, as he strongly sent formulation messages to Walt Disney Pope EGger, and Chairman of the Comest Brian Board. Roberts and CEO of Verizon Hans Vestberg on their internal companies’ programs.
Opening investigations into Dei’s initiatives for those companies. Companies refused to comment.
Car he has Blind to prevent mergers Unless companies dismantle Dei initiatives. Verizon seeks approval for Buy it 9.6 billion dollars for border communications.
“It makes these very strong companies jump,” said Gigi Son, the lawyer for the Federal Communications Committee (FCC). “They are subjected to severe pressure to retreat to the Federal Communications Committee for fear that the agency will be punished later.”
Kambar, Car constantly refers to a decrease in tide and general confidence. In the December message to Earger Disney, Car ABC was accused of being part of the problem.
“More Americans trust the fuel station from the sushi from the old national media,” Carr wrote on X.
Car was always very slope.
Soon after becoming a delegate during the first period of Trump, Car described his time on the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) under the leadership of Republicans and Democrats. A sub -committee in the House of Representatives said in October 2017: “I have planted these experiences in my appreciation of the importance of consensus between the two parties and working towards a common ground.”
In early 2021, Car of Democrats who called for the dropping of Fox News from the cable packages after the rebellion on January 6, 2021, in the violent rebellion in the Capitol.
“The newsroom’s decision on the stories must be covered and how to frame them is far from the reach of any government official, and does not target them,” Car said in a statement at that time.
Carl admitted a “highly charging” FCC period. At the Free State Foundation conference this spring, Carrh made it clear because the presidency is usually transient. He said he wants to accomplish a lot so that he can leave without any remorse.
Some FCC monitors speculate that CARR will accelerate the agency’s reshaping after the third Republicans, Olivia, have been documented, by confirming the Senate. Another former president, Tom Wheeler, said he sees a shrewd strategy from Car to create disturbances with little asylum.
Brendan Car is incredibly talented, very bright [and] “He uses these skills brilliantly to avoid any judicial review.”
The Federal Communications Committee (FCC) is supposed to operate independently and has great authority. in A recent editorialWheeler wrote the actions of Car “seems to be designed to evade the judicial review” because it was transferred under his authority as a president, but without a full commission vote.
“It is accomplished [his objectives] Through investigations, statements and threats.
A group of Democrats in the Senate presented legislation to reaffirm the role of the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) as an independent agency and give it to the use of its authority to “suppress some views or intimidate a broadcast license in compliance with any political agenda.”
However, the last court rulings indicate that the “Punishment” of Trump’s competitors may be limited. In this month, the Appeals Court canceled a fine of $ 57 million, imposing the previous Federal Communications Committee chair on AT & T, and found that the FBC has exceeded.
Anna Gomez, the Federal Communications Commissioner, a democracy, said the complaints related to NBC Covering for Immigrants, Evligo Garcia, are not commensurate with the legal definition of news.
“All of this is part of the pattern of bullying and harassment for control and control,” Gomez said. “I hope the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) will return to its basic mission, because the measures that it sees at the present time are not only contradicting the first amendment, but also violates our laws.”
