Praying for Our Leaders in Government

Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr urged broadcasters airing inaccurate or misleading information, particularly surrounding reports out of the Middle East, “to correct course before their license renewals come up.” He stated, “The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. … It is very important to bring trust back into media.”
Pray for the FCC chair and commissioners as they seek to ensure that broadcasters attempt to provide factual and accurate reports on current events.
