Senators send letter to FCC chair over ‘weaponization’ of commission
ByAustin Fuller, Reporter
Three senators sent a letter to FCC Chair Brendan Carr and Commissioner Nathan Simington Wednesday about the “weaponization” of the commission, including Carr’s direction that the commission’s Enforcement Bureau open an investigation into NPR and PBS member stations.The letter was from Sen. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) and Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), members of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee. The letter also cited the commission reinstating complaints involving ABC, CBS and NBC. “Taken together, these efforts appear politically motivated and designed to punish, censor or intimidate members of the free press based on political disagreement with editorial choices,” the letter said.
