Brendan Carr says he’ll let Pete Hegseth decide whether TV networks can air the public execution

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has stated that he will defer to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth in deciding whether TV networks can air the planned execution of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan by firing squad. The Pentagon has indicated that the execution will be livestreamed, potentially placing it outside the FCC's jurisdiction. However, broadcast TV networks often air live video of government events.
