A heated Senate hearing erupts as Senator Ed Markey accuses FCC Chairman Brendan Carr of betraying the agency’s mission and turning it into a “Federal Censorship Commission.” Markey warns that Carr is weaponizing the public interest standard to intimidate broadcasters and chilling free speech, bluntly telling him to resign. Other Democrats, including Sens. Amy Klobuchar, Brian Schatz, and Gary Peters, echo concerns over First Amendment violations and government overreach. Carr pushes back, insisting he is enforcing existing broadcast standards—not censoring content—and denies coercing media companies, saying decisions by major broadcasters were made independently. br br #FCCHearing #EdMarkey #FCCChair #FederalCensorshipCommission #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech #BroadcastRegulation #SenateHearing #MediaFreedom #FCCControversy #MarkeyVsCarr #PoliticalNews #BreakingNews #USPolitics #BroadcastMedia #PublicInterestStandard #GovernmentOverreachbr br ~HT.318~ED.
