🔴 BREAKING: FCC Chairman Warns Broadcasters That Fake Election Polls Could Put Their Licenses at Risk
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr issued a warning today over what he describes as a significant surge in fabricated and voter suppression polls ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.
Carr accused journalists and broadcasters of promoting questionable polling data without properly verifying its accuracy or informing viewers of its limitations.
He emphasized that broadcasters have a legal obligation to serve the public interest and warned that airing deliberately misleading polls could violate FCC regulations concerning news distortion and broadcast hoaxes.
The message is clear. Broadcasters are being put on notice that knowingly misleading the public could carry serious regulatory consequences.
