Former FCC Officials Line Up To Blast Brendan Carr’s Lawless Censorship Of ABCfrom the policing-the-speech-police deptA bipartisan roster of former top-level FCC officials have submitted a filing to the Trump FCC blasting the agency’s ongoing violations of the First Amendment and urging it to terminate its phony “investigations” into ABC — including the unprecedented early ownership review of the company’s broadcast licenses. A companion announcement features numerous FCC officials lining up to express their disgust at Brendan Carr and his often-illegal assault on the First Amendment. “The earlyreview and the allegations are unusual in a typical FCC license review which suggests it is more about adesire to silence speech.” And ABC in late 2024 paid Trump $15 million to settle a baseless lawsuit the company would have likely won.
