Trump-appointed Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr took aim this month at cable giant Comcast, which owns NBC and liberal-skewing MSNBC, in a message on X over the tilt of the news coverage on its TV channels.

Since becoming FCC chairman in late January, Carr has repeatedly poked the corporate owners of ABC, CBS and NBC — networks the president dislikes.

Complaints about NBC’s coverage of the El Salvador immigrant, Abrego Garcia, don’t fit the legal definition of news distortion, said FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez, a Democrat.

Within days, a conservative legal group echoed Carr’s words in a petition asking the FCC, which governs broadcast licenses, to investigate whether coverage of Abrego Garcia on NBC, ABC and CBS distorted facts.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday that "the president has stated repeatedly he thinks Canada would be better off as a state".
