On Friday at CPAC 2026, the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, sat down with Julie Strauss Levin, General Counsel for America First Legal Foundation, for what turned out to be a pretty interesting conversation. It was a hard-hitting, fast-paced interview that wrapped up very quickly, and there was a lot of information put out.
Here are some highlights.
Mr. Carr set out by describing the FCC's mandate in regulating communications. But his primary achievements were described as his efforts to take on the fake media.

He went on to give several examples of obvious bias by the legacy media networks and print outlets.
Ms. Levin pointed out the great disparity in coverage of Democrat vs. Republican politicians and policies, noting that Kamala Harris received over 90 percent favorable coverage, whereas President Trump received the opposite, claiming that 9 percent more Americans have trust in gas station sushi than in big media..

There is an exception in the rule for what are known as bona fide news organizations, but went on to describe how that exception has been badly abused in recent years.
