Chairman Carr Answers Sen Blumenthal's Letter on Media Actions

On March 12, 2025, Sen Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), the Ranking Member of the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, wrote to the acting chiefs of the Federal Communications Commission's Enforcement and Media Bureaus seeking answers to seven questions about FCC Chairman Brendan Carr orders to reopen complaints against and investigations into media broadcasters. On March 26, Chairman Carr replied noting that "During the Biden Administration, the FCC and Democrats across government repeatedly weaponized our country’s communications laws and processes. In contrast, I am restoring the FCC’s commitment to basic fairness and even-handed treatment for all. In particular, I am working to ensure that everyone appearing before the agency gets a fair shake from their government."
