Just as we warned, Brendan Carr is establishing himself as America's top censor, and he's not being shy about it.

And a hearty "fuck you" to anyone who insisted Carr was a "free speech warrior."

someone has added a banner to the FCC Complaints page so that anyone going to file a complaint first gets asked if they want to join in a complaint re: “investigating news distortion at 60 Minutes” consumercomplaints.fcc.gov

This is what happens when you give unbridled protection to religious "freedoms" - eventually they come to shut down your rights to oppose their antiquated world views.

I’d like to complain about Fox News.

Flood them with comments to leave CBS and 60 Minutes alone. They just look like school yard bullies.

I'm just really scared he's going to succeed in revoking KCBS's license. It's the last AM news station left here and now that KGO has been shitcanned by its owners it is the most storied operation in bay area radio.

I’m thinking Audacy will fight that. And it’s a pretty easy win for them. There was no violation of public interest and while Carr does a shit load of overreach that one is a stretch I don’t think he can even manage.

Amazing. Imagine all the Grandpa Simpsons 'yes I want to add to the 60 Minutes complaints' he's gonna get.

"Free speech warriors" always want free speech for me and not for thee.

And then I woke up this morning to a Semafor invite in my inbox to "Innovating to Restore Trust in News — an unprecedented gathering of the brightest minds in publishing, journalism, media, and investing" hosted by Ben Smith and featuring Carr:

Carr is part of a shameful lot of fascist attorneys coming f t om my alma mater.

Can we complain about ☠.com censoring speech now?

darksidestraxus.bsky.social•1 day ago

Funny how the guys who constantly keep screeching about “free speech” online like to censor anything that makes them feel slightly uncomfortable.

In those circles, “free speech” is “suppress anything that questions their viewpoint and allowing anything that comes from their point of view”

Add your comments to the complaint, the comments don't have to be for their side.

Carr is nearly as creepy as Stephen Miller, in his fanatical little way.

scottgoeke.bsky.social•1 day ago

is it open field so i can complain about the complaint?

secballoondogs.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yup. You can also cut and paste the entire script for the “Bee Movie”…if you were so inclined.

inspectacles.bsky.social•1 day ago

The FCC is required by law to have a notice and comment period. Submitting a comment doesn't mean you endorse what ever an agency is doing. In fact, submitting critical comments is one thing anyone can do to fight back against Carr.

mmasnick.bsky.social•1 day ago

I am very aware of that (and have submitted many comments in the past). But what's different here is the *promotion* and *framing* of the comment.

treelimb.bsky.social•1 day ago

I went to comment to support 60 Minutes, but you have to acknowledge that your name and address will be published?

Just left a complaint.

I would like to mention that there is absolutely no address or email verification on the FCC page, if you are feeling like you want to leave a comment.

chrome says it is secure and has a current certificate

We should flood that line with complaints about The Attack on our Capitol!

We should be adding comments. Telling him to fuck off
