Ron Johnson Doesn't Want Carr Messing With His Air Time
FCC Chair Brendan Carr has been shooting off his mouth again, threatening to go after the licenses of broadcasters who might not report about Trump's unjust and illegal war the way the fascists want them to. In other words, he wants to shut down broadcasters who report the truth.
On Fox News’ The Sunday Briefing, host Jacqui Heinrich asked Senator Ron Johnson what he thought of that. Johnson probably shocked more than a few people when he said he was not in agreement with Carr:
HEINRICH: And finally, because we are almost out of time, sir, I just want to get your thoughts on the FCC chairman. He has been heavily criticizing broadcast news organizations for their war coverage, threatening not to renew their broadcast licenses, though. And the critics jumped on a post that he made a few years ago, you know, sort of countering himself and saying the FCC does not have a roving mandate to police speech in the name of public interest. Obviously, there is a lot of criticism on the very news reporting that the administration is unhappy with. But do you think it's the role of the government to police that kind of coverage from where they sit?
