Internet post summary by Daily Dose of Democracy
FCC commissioner rebukes agency’s chair, says “we don’t have the authority” to retaliate against broadcasters. Commissioner Anna Gomez of the Federal Communications Commission said FCC Chair Brendan Carr and the agency do not actually have the authority to revoke broadcasters’ licenses, despite Carr’s threats. Gomez — whose job is likely now at risk — explained, "We license local broadcasters. So, there is no license to pull for the networks. The local broadcasters get some programming from the networks. But second of all, we are governed by the First Amendment and by the Communications Act, which prohibits us from censoring broadcasters. So no, we cannot pull local broadcasters’ licenses simply because they air content that [Trump] does not like." Gomez reiterated that the FCC lacks the authority to deliver on the kind of threatening and retaliatory behavior that Carr, a bona fide Trump toady, has been engaging in and called for the fourth estate to step up and do its goddamn job holding the government to account. Something tells us she's going to be disappointed with the media's follow-through on that request.
