The Freedom of the Press Foundation has filed an ethics complaint against FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, accusing him of abusing his authority to target media organizations and threaten press freedom. The complaint alleges that Carr's actions, including investigations into newsrooms and deregulatory pushes favoring certain broadcasters, are politically motivated and potentially violate ethical standards. Critics argue that Carr's close ties to former President Trump and his role in Project 2025 raise concerns about the politicization of the FCC. Meanwhile, some broadcast industry groups have praised Carr for his efforts to overhaul ownership rules, even as he investigates some of their members. The complaint seeks disciplinary action, including possible disbarment, to hold Carr accountable for his conduct.
