Donald Trump Nominates Brendan Carr to Lead U.S. Media Oversight Amidst Controversy
In a bid to lead the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Republican Brendan Carr has been nominated by incoming U.S. President Donald Trump, reportedly with support from Elon Musk. Trump praised Carr as a defender of free speech, aiming to modernize infrastructure and ease regulations. Carr’s appointment has raised eyebrows due to his critical stance on major tech companies.
