Rebecca Hamilton, a professor at American University Washington College of Law, told the Guardian that the FCC investigations could affect journalists’ ability to report on the Trump administration. “Valid FCC investigations can have a positive impact on the information ecosystem. But the latest FCC investigations launched by Carr are aligned with a broader effort by the Trump administration to punish outlets that Trump dislikes. Such investigations risk creating a chilling effect on the ability of journalists to report without fear of retaliation,” she said. The FCC's investigations into media organizations, Hamilton wrote in a recent piece for Just Security, represent “a wholesale effort by Trump and his allies to eviscerate the free press in order to construct an information ecosystem dominated and controlled by those who espouse his views".
