The FCC's Partisan Shift: A Warning Sign for Media Independence The nomination of Danielle Thumann by President Trump to serve as an agency commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has sparked concerns about the potential erosion of media independence and the growing partisan divide at the agency.
Her background is impressive, having worked as senior counsel to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr on high profile proceedings like the contentious vote to eliminate the national TV ownership cap.
Thumann's experience working for major players such as Crown Castle and Wilkinson Barker Knauer will undoubtedly serve her well in this new role.
