WASHINGTON, D.C. — As the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation sees it, “It is not government’s job to censor speech, and I do not believe the FCC should operate as the speech police.”
That’s what Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) told Punchbowl News in response to the FCC’s rare act of issuing an early license renewal order to the Walt Disney Co. in regard to its 8 ABC Owned Stations properties.
On Thursday, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr had this to say about the order handed to Disney and a nearly identical order given to Manoj Bhargava-led Bridge News LLC.
