BEVERLY HILLS, CALIF. — He started as a staffer in 2012 and has risen to the top leadership post at the FCC. Today, Brendan Carr has in just 100 days become one of the most forward-thinking and forward-driven Chairmen the agency has had in the modern era. But, that has come with partisan polarization of Carr’s agenda, with many arguing that he’s simply taking direction from President Trump.
Carr discussed his first 100 days leading the FCC on Monday in a 20-minute “Fireside Chat” at the Milken Institute Global Conference, where he also directly addressed the agency’s controversial probe into “news distortion” conducted by Paramount Global-owned CBS.
