Brendan Carr outlines priorities as new FCC chair under Trump

Brendan Carr has been appointed as the new chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) by President-elect Donald Trump. Carr plans to focus on ending the agency's promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and to ensure broadcasters operate in the public interest. Carr has criticized what he calls a "censorship cartel" involving major tech companies and the Biden administration. He aims to dismantle this cartel to protect free speech rights for Americans. Previously, Carr served as a commissioner on the FCC and has supported Trump's views on media regulation. His appointment has drawn criticism from advocacy groups who argue he will prioritize political agendas over public interest.
