The investigation into Comcast is the latest in a series of moves by Mr. Carr to bring media companies under regulatory scrutiny. Appointed chairman of the F.C.C. by President Trump, Mr. Carr has ordered investigations into PBS and NPR, examined an interview that “60 Minutes” conducted with former Vice President Kamala Harris and announced an inquiry into the San Francisco radio station KCBS for its coverage of immigration enforcement actions.
While Mr. Carr has ordered investigations into several media entities, the inquiry into Comcast is the first focused solely on D.E.I. His investigation into PBS and NPR focused on corporate sponsorships of news programming, and his inquiry at CBS News is focused on a “news distortion” complaint. Mr. Carr said in his letter that he was starting his D.E.I. push with Comcast because the company covered “a range of sectors regulated by the F.C.C.,” including cable and high-speed internet.
