The FCC’s sole Democratic member, Anna Gomez, called on the National Association of Broadcasters to address the administration’s efforts to challenge broadcasters on several fronts. FCC Chair Brendan Carr warned that U.S. broadcast networks could violate their regulatory obligations by airing “entirely fake polls” before the Nov. 3 election. Gomez said the administration was running “a coordinated, government-wide effort to reshape the media into its sanctioned messenger.”
