Carr continued in his letter that he will alert Congress to the investigation, noting that lawmakers already are weighing whether NPR and PBS should receive taxpayer funds.
"In particular, Congress is actively considering whether to stop requiring taxpayers to subsidize NPR and PBS programming," he wrote, according to the Times.
"To the extent that these taxpayer dollars are being used to support a for profit endeavor or an entity that is airing commercial advertisements, then that would further undermine any case for continuing to fund NPR and PBS with taxpayer dollars," he continued.

I can't remember a time when NPR or PBS wasn't a left wing mouthpiece.

the FCC should tackle the mess that is astc 3.0 which btw comes encrypted through the airwaves as well.

the FCC should tackle comcast's data caps which should be illegal.


the FCC should tackle cable and gigabit speeds overpricing too. i'm paying up over 120 bucks to comcast for my internet (they added speed that i didnt ask and raised the prices accordingly)

the FCC should tackle net neutrality. which means that no carriers should charge you for an extra pipe of theirs

that organization doesnt give a shit about americans and their plight under these corporations

that's a trivial issue when you have other more pressing issues that have been ignored by the FCC
