The Spin

The appointment strengthens efforts to protect free speech and combat alleged censorship by big tech companies. Carr's selection promises to dismantle regulatory barriers that have stifled American freedoms and economic growth. His commitment to rural telecommunications development ensures the FCC will better serve all Americans.

The appointment raises concerns about potential political interference in media regulation and broadcasting licenses. The FCC's independence could be compromised by Carr's involvement in Project 2025, a conservative policy blueprint for a second Trump term. His recent criticism of tech companies suggests a partisan approach to regulation.
