Reporter: Before that hearing this morning, I took a screenshot of the FCC website where it called itself an independent agency. 25 minutes later, that word 'independent' was scrubbed. The FCC was created to protect the public interest, not to protect the reputation of the president.

BARTIROMO: What do you say to critics who say the FCC is crossing over into editorial decision making? BRENDAN CARR: There are some broadcasters out there that feel they are being censored by the FCC. There are broadcasters saying they're changing their coverage because of the agency. What we're really doing is restoring the FCC's enforcement of the public interest standard (Not that this is not a denial of ABC's allegation that the FCC is engaging in censorship ... )

Absolute bombshell. FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez explicitly confirms the Trump administration has officially declared the FCC is no longer an independent agency. The White House is actively seizing total control of media regulators to crush dissenting voices. Terrifying!
