FCC Thug Carr Remaking Media In Trump's Image

 

 

As the Malignant Fascist's Epstein files coverup flounders and his poll numbers plummet, his fascist minions like FCC Chair Brendan Carr are on a fast-track mission to ruin our country:

President Donald Trump and the Federal Communications Commission have vowed to force American broadcast media outlets to make significant changes.

CBS may be just the beginning.

"President Trump is fundamentally reshaping the media landscape," FCC Chair Brendan Carr told CNBC Friday. "The media industry across this country needs a course correction."

On Thursday, the FCC voted 2-1 to approve the $8.4 billion merger between CBS parent Paramount Global and Skydance Media after Skydance agreed to ensure CBS news and entertainment programming is free of bias, hire an ombudsman for at least two years to review complaints and end diversity programs.

Trump has repeatedly attacked broadcast networks for what he perceives as unbiased news coverage and called on Carr to rescind their licenses.

"The new owners of CBS came in and said, 'It's time for a change. We're going to reorient it towards getting rid of bias," Carr said. "At the end of the day that's what made the difference for us."

Carr's comments suggest the FCC will ramp up efforts to rid mainstream media of what he and President Trump consider a deep and enduring liberal bias, creating an opening for more conservative views among the biggest media companies.

The FCC regulates broadcast media outlets, which use the public airways and are required to act in the public interest. Carr has cited the public interest standard in seeking the changes at CBS.

Democratic FCC Commission Anna Gomez accused Paramount of "cowardly capitulation" to the Trump administration. She also said the FCC was imposing "never-before-seen controls over newsroom decisions and editorial judgment, in direct violation of the First Amendment and the law."...

It's been observed that the model for this and many other moves made by the Malignant Fascist/ Project 2025 movement is the regime of Hungary's fascist Putin tool, Viktor Mihály Orbán.  Call it white nationalism, authoritarianism, fascism:  intimidation, bribes, followed by an imposed political agenda are all part of their playbook, and all are being employed by the Malignant Fascist to consolidate power before most are aware of what's going on and how to stop it.  Perhaps legal challenges can help slow the "course correction" that thug Carr boasts about. We're running out of other options.
