Trump-Allied FCC Chairman Opens Investigations Into NPR And PBS

The new head of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Chairman Brendan Carr, has ordered an investigation into NPR and PBS over concerns that they may be violating federal laws by airing commercial-like underwriting announcements.

The investigation focuses on whether their underwriting announcements cross the line into prohibited advertising.
