Former FCC Officials Urge Court to Force Vote on News Distortion Policy Repeal

Former FCC commissioners and staffers across parties are urging the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to force a vote on repealing the FCC's News Distortion Policy. The bipartisan group filed their petition in November 2025 after Chair Brendan Carr invoked the 1949 rule to pressure ABC over Jimmy Kimmel. Carr, who can alone bring the item to a vote, has refused while using the policy to threaten broadcasters perceived as biased against Trump. The petitioners argue the policy is unconstitutional and has been weaponized, seeking to compel FCC action before midterm elections.

FCC Under Fire for Reviewing Children's Programming Ratings on Trans Representation

The FCC's Media Bureau is soliciting public comments on whether the TV ratings system appropriately handles children's programming with transgender or non-binary characters. Chairman Brendan Carr claims parents are concerned about pro-transgender agenda in programming, though FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez notes only 11 public correspondences were received, with just 2 rating changes needed. Critics call the effort an attempt to erase transgender and non-binary people from media under the guise of protecting children.
