Trump's FCC Chair Carr uses old powers in new ways to rein in media companies

Top U.S. media regulator Brendan Carr has sparked outrage and calls for his resignation from Democratic lawmakers and other critics after he pressured Walt Disney to stop running a late-night talk show. But his attack on comedian Jimmy Kimmel was only the latest in a string of efforts to rein in media companies he accuses of bias. In Carr's eight-month tenure as Federal Communications Commission chair, he has re-imagined the role, using it as a bully pulpit to pressure media companies for changes in policies or programming while arguing they have been unfair to President Donald Trump.
