FCC Conservative Groups Urge FCC To Show Restraint in ABC Investigation Fourteen organizations otherwise supportive of the Trump FCC's agenda cautioned against abusing powers that could later be used against conservatives. Fourteen right-of-center organizations urged the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to exercise restraint when assessing TV networks' broadcast licenses. "We, the undersigned conservative and free-market organizations, write in continued support of your work to lift the regulatory burdens that have long weighed on America's communications sector," according to a letter last week to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.
