FCC Chairman Rips Back the Curtain: 'Comcast Outlets Spent Days Misleading the American Public'
 
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr has taken a bold stand against Comcast-owned outlets, accusing them of misleading the American public about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a suddenly (in)famous Salvadoran migrant recently deported back to his home country.

To say that Garcia's deportation has caused an uproar among the left would be an understatement... but Carr doesn't think that righteous indignation gives networks the right to lie on FCC airwaves.
 
Carr’s pointed criticism doubly highlights a massive growing American concern: Out-of-control media distortion, particularly when it serves a politically charged narrative.

On Tuesday, Carr took to X to excoriate various news outlets -- all on Comcast -- that all seemed to conveniently fail to give any coverage to angel mom Patty Morin, yet had plenty of airtime for sympathetic coverage of Garcia.

“Comcast outlets spent days misleading the American public—implying that Abrego Garcia was merely a law abiding U.S. citizen, just a regular ‘Maryland man,'" Carr posted. "When the truth comes out, they ignore it.

"Comcast knows that federal law requires its licensed operations to serve the public interest.

"News distortion doesn’t cut it.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
