Carr is proposing to punish Comcast / NBC over failing to toe the line with regard to Trump Administration propaganda:
> In his post yesterday, Carr alleged that "Comcast outlets spent days misleading the American public—implying that Abrego Garcia was merely a law abiding US citizen, just a regular 'Maryland man.'" Carr wrote that "Abrego Garcia came to America illegally from El Salvador, was validated as a member of the violent MS-13 gang—a transnational criminal organization—and was denied bond by an immigration court for failure to show he would not pose a danger to others."
NBC had the gall to disagree with "dear leader" according to the man who wears a huge lapel pin with a giant profile image of Trump on it [0][1]

- crtasm 1y agoSnopes has a piece on the pins: https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/04/16/trump-golden-pin/ https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/04/16/trump-golden-pin/
- pmags 1y agoThank you. Carr is clearly wearing a huge golden Trump pin in the picture posted on his official Twitter/X page. But I agree that the details from the Snopes discussion suggest there's little evidence of a "mandate" for his cabinet to wear one as per the title of the blog post I linked. I concede the point that with regard to lapel pins the evidence only points to the lapdog-like obsequiousness of the FCC chair at this time. ;-)
