FCC chairman, Brendan Carr, sarcastically cheered the singer Sherryl Crow after she sold her Tesla to protest Elon Musk – and supposedly donated money from sale to national public radio.
Carr, who was appointed by President Trump to lead the powerful Federal Panel last month, signaled that the leftist radio giant would need famous donations to survive without government funds.
“I know that celebrities have hesitated to weigh the hot button issues, so I appreciate Sheryl Crow by making an argument here – not only through words, but through its actions – that Congress should not force taxpayers to subsidize NPR, “€ Carr said Saturday in a post on X.
â € œBravo, â € he added, with an emoji showing hands applause.
Trump’s choice, which took over the chair at the Federal Communications Commission in January, slipped into Crow after she posted a video on Instagram showing her farewell to her tesla while the electric vehicle rode away on a truck bed.
“My parents always said – you are with whom you are sitting, Crow € Crow wrote in the post on Saturday.
In the title, the singer’s singer said she had donated the money from Tesla’s sale to NPR, “€ œchich is under threat by President Musk, hoping that the truth will continue to find her way to those who are willing to know the truth.
She called on her followers to €#Protecttheconstitutionâ and call 202-224-3141 which seems to be the phone number for dining options in the Senate building, according to the Senate Website. The phone number is a figure from the US Capitol table.
Carr argued that the donation of the Crowâ â â € œsht as an argument against the Congress that requires taxpayers to subsidize NPR.â €
“Can’t get many celebrities following the direction of Sheryl Crow and selling their cars to keep NPR go without taxpayers.
The mayor seemed jokingly referring to the non-profit of New Jersey-based vehicles, known for his Radio Jingle stuck in your head, as well as accusations of deceitful donors.
Last month, Carr ordered an investigation into NPR and PBA non -profit organizations to investigate whether they violated government rules by broadcasting paid ads.
He argued that the results of the investigation could change lawmakers if the government should continue to finance public news groups.
“To the extent that these taxpayers’ dollars are being used to support a lucrative effort or an entity that is broadcasting commercial advertising, then this will undermine any occasion to continue to finance NPR and PBS with taxpayers,” wrote Carr Carr wrote in a January letter to NPR and PBS.
