WASHINGTON, Feb. 12, 2025 – Commissioner Anna Gomez warned Tuesday that the Federal Communications Commission was being increasingly weaponized to pressure broadcasters and online platforms into aligning with President Donald Trump’s agenda.
“During these last few weeks, the commission has acted in ways that give me pause. This FCC has been weighing in on partisan issues that go far beyond our core responsibilities,” Gomez said in a speech at the State of the Net 2025 conference here in Washington D.C.
Gomez pointed to the FCC’s recent investigation into public broadcasters NPR and PBS, following accusations that their content was biased against the administration.
