FCC chair says broadcast networks could violate regulatory obligations by airing ’fake polls’

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr warned broadcasters on Wednesday that airing fake or suppression polls could violate their regulatory obligations. This warning suggests potential regulatory action concerning news content. Carr has previously addressed the media's reliance on poll information, coinciding with President Donald Trump's frequent dismissal of survey results that are unfavorable to him. The FCC head emphasizes that such practices may run afoul of the rules governing broadcast networks and their public responsibilities.
