FCC Chair Brendan Carr accused Comcast of distorting news regarding the deportation of Kilmar Armando Abrego. Carr claimed that Comcast's media outlets misled the public concerning this case, which drew criticism for their lack of coverage on key White House press briefings. This situation escalated after a Supreme Court ruling mandated the government to halt Abrego's deportation due to prior legal orders. Amidst this, Carr has previously signaled intentions to scrutinize Comcast’s diversity initiatives and their adherence to public interest obligations under federal law.
"Comcast outlets spent days misleading the American public," Carr wrote, highlighting concerns over how the company's networks reported on recent deportation events.
"Comcast knows that federal law requires its licensed operations to serve the public interest," raising questions about media responsibility in reporting.
"The FCC's own website states that the agency's authority over news distortion is 'narrow' and will only act on deliberate misleading reports."
