FCC Chairman Goes After Comcast For “News Distortion” After White House Complains That MSNBC Didn’t Carry Press Briefing On Deportations
MSNBC Declined To Carry the Press Briefing Earlier In the Day
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr suggested that Comcast may be violating its broadcast licenses after MSNBC declined to carry a White House briefing this afternoon in which the administration continued to defend its decision to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador. In a post on X, Carr claimed that Comcast was ignoring “obvious facts of public interest,” suggesting that they were portraying Garcia as “merely a law abiding U.S. citizen” and not reporting on his alleged MS13 gang affiliation. During Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s briefing, she called Garcia an “illegal alien, MS-13 gang member and foreign terrorist who was deported back to his home country.”
