(10,051 posts)FCC commissioner Anna M. Gomez warned broadcasters of her grave concerns over what she sees as a "disturbing" pattern of efforts by the Trump administration to impose politically motivated controls over news media outlets.
"My alarm over what we are seeing today is so high right now that I will not stop speaking out because I have to. I cannot allow this to continue without raising alarm bells. And I really hope I'm not alone in doing that," Gomez said in a moderated conversation with Wall Street Journal reporter Joe Flint and Q&A with conference delegates.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr was appointed by President Trump and assumed the role in January. Gomez, who will soon be the only Democrat on the commission as Geoffrey Stark has announced that he will step down this spring, was the only commissioner to attend the convention, something the NAB attributed to federal employee travel suspensions. "I felt it was important enough for me to come to meet with broadcasters and to speak, and so I self funded," Gomez responded when asked about her participation, receiving applause.
