NBC knows what his threat was. But they also know there was nothing but hot air behind it.

He's a dickwad who claims to be a defender of the first amendment but is more than willing to use the government to attack and silence private speech.

I've been a communications attorney for over four decades and previously worked at the FCC for a period of time. There have been some bad chairs -- Kevin McCarthy and Ajit Pai to name two. Carr is way worse. The only thing that I have trouble putting my head around is that Joe Biden nominated him for a new term in 2023.
