FCC Chair’s Free Speech Fight: Lawyer or Media Mob Boss?
On Monday, the Freedom of the Press Foundation threw down a legal gauntlet against FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, accusing him of 'leveraging his power to control media outlets' speech.' The complaint, addressed to the DC Court of Appeals, highlights Carr's months-long 'escalating war on free speech,' including his recent greenlight of a Paramount-Sky merger that sparked the FPF's tipping point. Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part where the FCC became the media's self-appointed bouncer? This isn’t just a complaint; it's a 'long shot' with the precision of a cannonball shot from a teacup.

So let me get this straight: the FCC chair’s free speech crusade looks more like a soap opera where media giants play Monopoly under his watchful hand? If censorship had a mascot, it’d be Brendan Carr squinting at a gavel like it's a remote control.
Brendan Carr's idea of free speech is like a toddler's version of baseball: lots of shouting about fairness, zero understanding of the rules, and someone’s always crying foul.
Watching the FCC try to police media speech feels like giving a fox the keys to the henhouse and then acting surprised when the feathers start flying.
