FCC’s Gomez Warns of Coordinated Federal Effort to Silence Newsrooms

FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez issued a forceful rebuke of what she described as a coordinated federal campaign to intimidate journalists and pressure news organizations into silence, warning that regulatory power is increasingly being used as a political weapon. “If I get fired, it isn’t because I didn’t do my job—it’s because I insisted on doing it,” Gomez said during a public forum held this week as part of her “First Amendment Tour,” an initiative launched to spotlight press freedom concerns.
