FCC Chair to Brief GOP on Soros Radio Station Deal
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr is set to brief House Republicans on concerns over George Soros’s influence in local radio, following his investment firm’s acquisition of over 200 Audacy stations. GOP lawmakers claim the Biden-era FCC bypassed standard foreign ownership reviews to fast-track the deal, potentially giving Soros access to 165 million Americans before the 2024 election. Critics warn it could boost left-leaning media influence and suppress conservative voices.
