It’s not hard to predict what Carr would do at the FCC.
Project 2025, posts, and interviews—he's publicly laid out how he would crack down on and intimidate traditional media, boost conservative media, and unleash disinfo on social.
The result: An info ecosystem tilted further in Trump’s favor.

Like many resentful young men, Mark came to a concrete worldview: The advances of women in society had been a mistake. Their empowerment took something directly from him. In fact, women were at the root of his, and all men’s, problems.
