The Spin

Brendan Carr is exactly what America needs following years of government-corporate collusion to kick conservatives off the internet. The most powerful people in the world — from Pres. Biden to Big Tech billionaires — are liberals who have who want their beliefs to be the only acceptable ones acceptable. That will change under Carr, as he will force all communications companies, as well as government agencies, to prioritize free speech over DEI.

IfCarr's nomination proves Republicans weredon't worriedcare about biased government agencies runningbeing the country for their own benefit, then their celebration of Brendan Carr is ironicbiased. Not only does Carr want to strip away national internet access rights via abolishing net neutrality, but he'll simultaneously cozy up to his billionaire friends like Elon Musk. This choice was about enriching ptopro-Trump businessmen while ignoring needs of the rest of the country.
