FCC Commissioner Slams Paramount’s New ‘Truth Arbiter’ for the Trump Regime

FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez has criticized Paramount Global's decision to create a "truth arbiter" to combat misinformation about the Trump administration. Gomez stated that the new company, called Paramount Authority, is "born in shame" and its purpose is to shape the narrative around the Trump presidency. The article suggests that Paramount Authority will have the power to determine what information is "true" or "false" regarding the Trump administration, raising concerns about the potential for censorship and the undermining of free speech. Gomez argued that the creation of such a company is a concerning development, as it could be used to suppress and control the flow of information, particularly regarding political figures and events. The article highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the role of media companies in addressing the spread of misinformation and the potential consequences of such interventions on democratic principles.
