Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr accused Comcast of "news distortion" because its subsidiary NBC isn't parroting the Trump administration narrative on the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. "Comcast knows that federal law requires its licensed operations to serve the public interest. News distortion doesn't cut it," Carr wrote in a post on X yesterday. Carr's use of the phrase "news distortion" is significant because he has been invoking the FCC's rarely enforced news

In particle physics, the smallest problems often require the biggest solutions. Along the border of France and Switzerland, around a hundred meters underneath the countryside, protons speed through a 27-kilometer ring—about seven times the length of the Indy 500 circuit—until they crash into protons going in the opposite direction. These particle pileups produce a petabyte of data every second, the most interesting of which is poured into data centers, accessible to thousands of physicists worl

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr is taking a hard line against broadcast TV stations accused of bias against Republicans and President Trump. To pressure broadcasters, Carr is invoking the rarely enforced news distortion policy that was developed starting in the late 1960s and says the FCC should consider revoking broadcast licenses. The FCC has regulatory authority over broadcasters with licenses to use the public airwaves. But Carr's two immediate predecessors—Democrat

He suggested that major deals, such as T-Mobile’s plan to acquire most of US Cellular, won’t happen if DEI is still in play. T-Mobile executive vice president Mark Nelson has already indicated that the company plans on complying with Carr’s orders.
