FCC’s Sole Democrat Calls On Broadcast Lobby To Push Back On Trump-Backed Chairman’s Regulatory Threats Over Election Coverage

Anna Gomez, the sole Democrat on the FCC, has urged the broadcast lobby to oppose regulatory threats made by Chairman Brendan Carr. Carr warned that stations airing what he considers fake polls could face regulatory review. In a letter to National Association of Broadcasters CEO Curtis LeGeyt, Gomez argued that reporting poll results disliked by the current administration does not meet the standards required for such regulatory actions, calling for broadcasters to push back against these threats.
