Brendan Carr is overwhelmingly partisan and suprisingly unqualified for the role he occupies as the Chair of the FCC. Anyone paying attention to his actions over his time in office is not surprised by this outcome. Carr has been regularly going on podcasts and threatening that the FCC will be "going after" anyone unfavorable to the Trump administration, this is just the first time a company flinched in response. Im happy to hear Disney is rethinking their reflexive reaction.

Its deeply troubling to see the priorities of the FCC shift from expanding things like access to broadband to instead prioritize podcast appearances and fascistic threats. Expect more of this, as Carr seems to only be emboldened by the outcome.

Carr needs to leave. It isn't his job to police the political airwaves.
