Trump Goon Demands ‘Pro-America’ Content From Networks

Brandan Carr, the Trump-appointed chairman of the FCC, is demanding fealty from local broadcasting networks in line with the president’s “pro-America” agenda.

In a press release on Friday, Carr, 47, announced the FCC’s Pledge America Campaign, which he said is part of “heeding this call” of the White House’s Salute to America 250 Task Force. Through the memo, Carr pressured broadcasters to join in by reminding them of their “public interest obligations.”
