TechdirtFCC Boss Brendan Carr Bullied Bay Area AM Radio Station For Telling Locals The Truth
Tracy RosenbergLocal Bay Area radio station #KCBS had to self-censor after the #FCC started bullying them for reporting on ICE presence in the Bay Area. "When journalists were given permission to pursue politics or Trump administration policies, some of the staffers said, the tone of the stories was heavily scrutinized. “‘Chilling effect’ does not begin to describe the neutering of our political coverage". https://apnews.com/article/trump-media-fcc-kcbs-5dbed5c466771d53e2c7bcc5da362bf6
How a local radio station weathered Trump's media attacks
Six days into President Donald Trump's new administration, the San Francisco Bay-area radio station KCBS-AM and other outlets reported on local immigration raids. The brief story quickly drew the ire of conservative influencers who attacked KCBS’ report as endangering agents’ lives. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr accused KCBS of failing to operate in the public interest and said he was opening an investigation. Current and former staffers say KCBS began taking steps to mitigate the risk of drawing further attention from Carr. The staffers say reporters were dissuaded from pursuing political topics. KCBS says there's been no change in policy or editorial direction.

Jim NaureckasOf the many repressive moves by Trump's #FCC chief documented here by @freepress , perhaps the most alarming is going after #KCBS radio for covering lawbreaking by ICE. Reporting on government misconduct is at the heart of the #FirstAmendment; if you can't do that, you don't have a free press--period.

Nonilex#NBC, #ABC, #CBS, #PBS, #NPR & #KCBS radio all have one thing in common: They’re under scrutiny from the #FCC, which is now being led by #BrendanCarr, a #Republican who has praised #Trump as a leader in combating *bias* in the #media.
#NBCUniversal & its parent company, #Comcast, were the latest media companies to receive word of an investigation by the FCC.
