Mediaite on MSNFox News Correspondent Warns Colleagues Not to Celebrate Trump’s FCC for Targeting The View: Next Administration ‘Could Do the Same’ to Fox
A Fox correspondent delivered a warning to colleagues celebrating President Donald Trump's FCC for targeting The View: what goes around could well come around. The post Fox News Correspondent Warns Colleagues Not to Celebrate Trump’s FCC for Targeting The View: Next Administration ‘Could Do the Same’ to Fox first appeared on Mediaite.
Brendan Carr, FCC Chairman, joins CNBC's 'Squawk on the Street' to respond to allegations that the Trump Administration pressured Paramount into a settlement agreement before approving a merger with Skydance.
Brendan Carr told Fox News that networks will "run into issues like [Stephen] Colbert" if they don't check bias and continue to "run a partisan circus."
Skydance needs FCC approval in order to take over Paramount. It’s now promising to root out “bias” at CBS News in order to get it.
Hours after announcing the approval of Skydance’s merger with Paramount, FCC chairman Brendan Carr touted the company’s commitment to “addressing bias & restoring fact-based reporting” at CBS News, among other things.
The settlement came amid a pending merger with CBS parent company Paramount and Skydance, which requires administration approval. Colbert blasted the network for settling with Trump in what he deemed a “nuisance lawsuit” in a monologue on his show prior to being given the axe.
