President Trump is sending shockwaves through the Deep State and the uniparty with his bold cabinet picks. They’re quickly realizing that 2024 won’t be anything like 2016, when so many establishment hacks infiltrated his administration and sabotaged the MAGA agenda. This time, President Trump is choosing America First warriors who are ready to shake things up and turn our crooked government upside down. And his latest pick for FCC chairman has the “disinformation” crowd absolutely panicking. President Trump has tapped First Amendment champion Brendan Carr for the top FCC spot, and this guy is poised to dismantle the censorship industry...

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC You worked for an Administration that got $42 billion to connect millions of Americans to the Internet 1️⃣,1️⃣6️⃣3️⃣ days later, that Admin exited without connecting even 1 person & without turning even 1 shovel worth of dirt If we need expertise in incompetence, will reach out

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr is investigating a radio station owned by the George Soros-controlled Audacy. The development comes as a response to an MRC bombshell which revealed that the radio station unmasked undercover law enforcement agents conducting operations in the gang activity-plagued San Jose, California.

...Brendan Carr, the chairman, said in a letter to NPR and PBS on Wednesday that the inquiry would focus on whether the news organizations’ member stations violated government rules by recognizing financial sponsors on the air. Mr. Carr said that NPR and PBS stations operate as noncommercial broadcast organizations, but that they may be airing “announcements that cross the line into prohibited commercial advertisements.”..

The new chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Republican Brendan Carr, will reverse the 11th hour decision by the former Democrat chair to reject three complaints against major media outlets, sources tell Newsmax. With days left in her term under the Biden administration, Chair Jessica Rosenworcel, a Democrat, last week announced she was dismissing four pending petitions and complaints before the FCC that she believed sought "to curtail freedom of the press." Three of the petitions related to coverage of the presidential campaign while one was a complaint about Fox News Channel. Carr, appointed Monday by President Donald Trump, plans...

Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCCBroadcast media have had the privilege of using a scarce and valuable public resource—our airwaves. In turn, they are required by law to operate in the public interest.When the transition is complete, the FCC will enforce this public interest obligation.

Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr utilized Media Research Center analysis to put Big Tech and so-called media ratings firm NewsGuard on notice. Carr sent a letter Wednesday to the respective CEOs of Google, Microsoft, Meta and Apple accusing them of “improper conduct” in silencing Americans’ exercising free speech on political, religious and scientific issues. Carr specifically ordered these tech giants to acquiesce to surrendering any documents related to their work with “the Orwellian named NewsGuard” given its history of targeting right-leaning websites by bullying their advertisers. Moreover, Carr excoriated the CEOs for participating in “a censorship cartel that included not...

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) seemingly approved a deal that would "fast-track" left-wing billionaire George Soros’ acquisition of more than 200 Audacy radio stations across America, irking a Republican commissioner who "objected." The New York Post first reported that the FCC last week "adopted an order to approve Soros’ purchase of more than 200 radio stations in 40 markets just weeks before the presidential election," potentially allowing the far-left kingmaker to reach more than 165 million Americans at a critical time.

Leftist billionaire and Democratic mega-donor George Soros has been leaning on the Democrat-controlled Federal Communications Commission for months in hopes of fast-tracking his group's acquisition of over 200 radio stations in over 40 markets — including stations that run shows from Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Erick Erickson, Sean Hannity, and Dana Loesch. On Wednesday, the FCC reportedly adopted an order to approve the purchase, meaning that in a matter of days, Soros will likely take control of communications to over 165 million Americans with the help of unvetted foreign investors whom Democrats have spared from the FCC's customary national security...

The Democratic Party’s platform hails a rural broadband project overseen by Kamala Harris, which—despite a $42 billion budget—has yet to connect a single user to the Internet. In 2021, Joe Biden tapped Harris to lead the Biden-Harris government’s taxpayer-funded efforts to subsidize rural Internet infrastructure. However, ground has yet to be broken on a single project—and will not be broken until at least 2025.Despite the lack of progress, the 2024 Democratic Party’s platform claims that “under President Biden, we’re finally rebuilding our roads, bridges, ports, airports, water systems, electric grids, broadband, and more, paving the way for a great American...

The FCC voted today on a plan that gives the Federal government full control over the Internet. The plan passed by a 3-2 margin. A press release posted immediately after the meeting stated, in part, “Under the new rules, the Commission can investigate possible instances of discrimination of broadband access, work with companies to solve problems, facilitate mediation, and, when necessary, penalize companies for violating the rules. The FCC will review consumer complaints of digital discrimination of access through an improved consumer complaint portal and staff will meet monthly to assess trends in complaint patterns. Finally, the Commission adopted model...

The FCC commissioner has called on the CEOs of Google and Apple to remove TikTok from their app stores, citing new reports suggesting the video app popular among American young people is harvesting "swaths of sensitive data" that is being accessed by Beijing on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party. In a letter dated June 24, Brendan Carr, the commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission, warned Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook and Alphabet Inc. and Google LLC CEO Sundar Pichai of "an alarming new report" that shed fresh light on "serious national security threats posed by TikTok." "TikTok is not...

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr shot down calls from left-wing activists for the government agency to block African-American tech philanthropist Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, and criticized the “hard left” for believing “the free exchange of ideas is incompatible with the outcomes that they want to see at the ballot box.” “Yesterday, the Open Markets Institute issued a release that called for the FCC, FTC, and DOJ to block Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter,” the FCC said in a statement released on Wednesday.

Twitter has abandoned it’s original explanation for labeling the President’s tweet. Yet it’s not removing the label. Instead, @jack claims the tweet could be read as making a different point that should be labeled for a different reason. What a mess. jack @jack - 21h Per our Civic Integrity policy (https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/election-integrity-policy), the tweets yesterday may mislead people into thinking they don’t need to register to get a ballot (only registered voters receive ballots). We’re updating the link on @realDonaldTrump’s tweet to make this more clear.

The Federal Communications Commission voted Thursday to repeal net neutrality rules, over the objection of Democrats in Congress, Internet activists and online companies. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, Commissioner Michael O’Rielly, and Commissioner Brendan Carr, all Republicans, supported the proposed rollback of the Obama-era rules. Democratic Commissioners Mignon Clyburn and Jessica Rosenworcel opposed the change.
