This is axiomatic.
A recent article argues that Brendan Carr is pushing well beyond constitutional limits by threatening broadcasters over their news coverage. The central concern is the First Amendment, which prevents the government from punishing speech simply because it disagrees with it. Carr’s warnings about potentially revoking licenses over so called “news distortion” are framed as a dangerous overreach, suggesting a partisan attempt to pressure media rather than regulate it.
The piece also highlights that the FCC has limited authority over content and cannot broadly shape journalism. In this view, Carr’s approach risks turning regulatory power into a tool for influencing coverage, raising serious concerns about free speech and the independence of the press.
Brendan Carr’s crusade to reshape TV journalism is blatantly unconstitutional
The FCC chairman is eager to restore ‘faith and confidence in the media.’ That’s neither part of his job nor consistent with the First Amendment.
========================
Big Ol’ Pig tears into Elk Hunt during The Spot Sessions with gritty blues rock energy and swampy groove. The performance feels raw and alive, driven by punchy drums, thick bass and a snarling guitar tone that cuts through the room. It is stripped down and authentic, the kind of session where every riff feels spontaneous. Elk Hunt builds slowly then explodes into a driving jam, showing off the band’s tight chemistry and love of old school blues rock power.
