In his first 100 or so days as F.C.C chairman, Brendan Carr is proving to be as fast and pugnacious as anyone in the Trump administration, and that’s no small feat. Carr has already tormented legacy media, and ostensibly devoured the media attention that attends his scalp-hunting. Since assuming control of the F.C.C., Carr has launched investigations into both Comcast’s NBCUniversal and Disney’s ABC over their D.E.I. initiatives; into PBS and NPR over their airing of commercial advertisements; and into a San Francisco–based radio station for revealing the locations of undercover ICE agents. Most notably, he demanded that CBS turn over the raw footage of their 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, suggesting that their fairly benign alternate editings of the tape could be relevant to whether or not the F.C.C. grants approval of David Ellison’s $8 billion Skydance-Paramount merger.
