Hi,
Trump’s war against reliable, trustworthy media started when he first ran
for president. Now, Trump’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair,
Brendan Carr, is going after ABC, NBC, and CBS for so-called bias against
Trump.^1
Trump’s FCC will do everything it can to attack the media and internet
freedom.
Even before taking office, Trump (and Big Telecom companies like Comcast
and Verizon) got a big win when a federal court struck down Net Neutrality
rules that prevent internet service providers from throttling or blocking
web access.^2 Trump led the undoing of Net Neutrality — now we need
Congress to take action before Big Telecom starts restricting a free and
open internet.

Biden’s former FCC Chair, Jessica Rosenworcel, said the "threat to the
First Amendment has taken on new forms, as the incoming President has
called on the Federal Communications Commission to revoke licenses for
broadcast television stations because he disagrees with their content and
coverage."^3
Fair news coverage is under attack. Internet freedom is under attack.
Carr even said that he was “pleased” with the federal Net Neutrality
ruling and pledged that “the work to unwind the Biden administration’s
regulatory overreach will continue.”^4
The ruling gives enormous power to internet service providers like
Verizon, Comcast, and AT&T, and hurts consumers and workers who rely on
the internet. Congress must take action now and stand up to Trump’s
attacks on the media and internet freedom.
