US EditionFCC’s Brendan Carr: CBS ‘doing a great job’ under new management
FCC Chair Brendan Carr credits CBS’s new leadership for shifting toward unbiased, fact-based reporting amid management changes favoring conservative perspectives, Carr said.
- On Wednesday, FCC Chair Brendan Carr praised CBS under the new leadership of David Ellison and Bari Weiss, saying the network is `trying to do something different` and experimenting with new formats.
- David Ellison took over Paramount last year after a merger with Skydance and bought The Free Press, described by The Washington Post as a `contrarian outlet` linked to Bari Weiss.
- Given his tenure and disputes with late-night hosts, Carr has praised CBS News for returning to fact-based reporting, despite clashes with Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel.
- Last week, Colbert said CBS blocked an interview over FCC blowback, which CBS denied, and Carr said he doesn't regret targeting Kimmel.
- The FCC's regulatory tools, including equal-time rules, have been invoked as leverage, with Carr pressuring broadcasters while Trump suggested revoking broadcast licenses.
