- The FCC under Chairman Brendan Carr has shifted focus from consumer protection to targeting companies critical of Trump.
- Carr has launched investigations into media companies like CBS and NBC, threatening their licenses over unfavorable coverage.
- The FCC is accused of becoming a tool for Trump's personal grievances, undermining press freedom and diversity initiatives.
- Carr's actions include targeting public broadcasters and telecom mergers, often without solid legal grounds.
- Efforts to dismantle consumer protections and media consolidation limits are framed as 'government efficiency.'
- State and local governments are urged to step up as federal oversight weakens, with some states already enacting net neutrality laws.
- The collapse of local journalism has created news deserts, highlighting the need for public investment in media.
