FCC Chairman Carr Is Having ‘the Time of His Life’

President Donald Trump’s Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr is boasting to friends that he is having “the time of his life” after launching an all-out attack on the media. Chairman Carr has spread dread through top-ranked media executives since taking office at the same time as President Trump. He has opened an investigation into CBS over its 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, threatening to upend its parent company’s merger with Skydance Media; reopened investigations into ABC and NBC over the Trump-Harris presidential debate and her appearance on Saturday Night Live; opened inquiries into NPR and PBS that questioned whether they deserved government funding; and sent a letter to a George Soros-owned California radio station over a report on immigration raids—and vowed not to stop. Many of his actions parallel Trump’s own private legal cases—particularly the pursuit of 60 Minutes, which Trump is suing for $20 billion, claiming it “doctored” the Harris interview to help her, which CBS denies—and are amplified by a gleefully pro-Trump personal twitter account.
