FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez Sounds Alarm Over Trump Administration’s ‘Absolute Pattern of Censorship and Control’
FCC commissioner Anna Gomez sounded the alarm at NAB about Trump administration efforts to impose 'absolute censorship and control' of news media.
FCC commissioner Anna M. Gomez warned broadcasters of her grave concerns over what she sees as a “disturbing” pattern of efforts by the Trump administration impose politically motivated controls over news media outlets. Gomez, who will soon be the only Democrat on the commission as Geoffrey Stark has announced that he will step down this spring, was the only commissioner to attend the convention, something the NAB attributed to federal employee travel suspensions. I realize that I have been very passionate in my concerns about what the FCC is doing, but on a personal level, he and I actually work very well together.” She added, “I would really love to see the commission pivot away from these culture wars, from these areas that are outside of our statutory agreement, and focus on our core mission, which we can do on a bipartisan basis.”
