GoKawiilFCC's Carr defers to Hegseth on broadcasting Nidal Hasan execution
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said in a CNBC interview that he would leave it to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to decide whether networks can air the planned firing-squad execution of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan. The Pentagon has said the execution will be livestreamed, which Carr noted likely places it outside FCC jurisdiction over broadcast TV. Major platforms including YouTube, Twitch, Meta, and X have not yet responded to questions about whether they would carry the livestream.
