Dear Senator / Representative:
The First Amendment declares that “Congress shall make no law …abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.”
Yet that is what FCC Chair Brendon Carr has done by threatening broadcasters with license revocation if they aired ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel show. He charged CBS with media bias and “negotiated Skydance’s merger with CBS parent company Paramount.” He has forced news organizations to abandon their diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and praised the new owner of CBS news for “adopt[ing] measures that can root out the bias that has undermined trust in the national news media.”
These are actions that are unconstitutional.
Carr, the author of the Project 2025 chapter on the FCC, is slated to appear before the Senate on Wednesday: an FCC oversight hearing held by the Senate Commerce Committee. At issue are threats like this: “we can do this the easy way or the hard way.” In other words, yield to my criticism or I’ll go after your licenses.
I’m asking that you go on the record and talk about the importance of the First Amendment and an FCC that stays in its lane instead of making unconstitutional threats against news organizations.
