On Tuesday, Carr sent a long letter to the COMCAST CEO Brian Roberts, informing the top-notch company Philadelphia.
“I am writing to inform you that I asked the FCC’s implementation office to open an investigation by Comcast -a Nbcunersal. In particular, I want to ensure that your companies do not promote unprecedented forms of discrimination in violating the FCC Law on Civil Rights Laws,” Carr is wrote in a letter received by Fox News Digital.
“As you know, the Communications Law and the Rules of Commission prohibit regulated entities – such as Comcast -a NBCUNIVERSAL – from discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, age or gender. Indeed, long -standing possibility of equal employment or EEO -A FCC – And or EEO rules are exposed to specific requirements on which both Comcast and NBCuniversal must adhere to, “continued in the letter. “Nevertheless, I am worried that Comcast and NBCuniversal can promote the unprecedented forms of dei in a way that does not in accordance with the FCC regulations.”
Carr then noted that Comcast promotes Dei as the “fundamental value of our business” on the network and public reports say that the company has a whole “dei infrastructure” that includes the annual “Dei Day[s]”” Dei Training for Company leaders “and other similar initiatives.
“The NBCUNIVERSAL has similar dei initiatives, including executives specially dedicated to promoting Dei on TV and programming,” Carr wrote.

“But the promotion of invisible forms of discrimination cannot be spoiled with any reasonable interpretation of the Federal Law. It can only take away their rights to the fair and equally acting towards the law by Americans,” he continued. “Despite the appearance of Dei initiatives in recent years, these forms of discrimination have long been convicted of US Civil Rights Laws.”
Carr noted that the Supreme Court stated “differences between citizens solely because of their origin, by its nature disgustingly free people whose institutions were based on the doctrine of equality” and wrote that racial classifications “threaten to stigmatize individuals for reasons of their membership in racial group and encouraging racial hostility. ”
Carr added that Trump had already “issued an executive command to end radical and wasteful Dei programs that spread to the federal government” and issued another executive order for “ending illegal discrimination and renewing opportunities based on merit throughout the private sector.”
“In my direction, FCC has already taken measures to end his own promotion of Dei. As the next step, FCC will take a fresh action to ensure that it ensures that Each FCC entity regulates In accordance with the protection of the civil rights contained in the Act on the Communications and Rules of the EEO Agency, including the exclusion of any program promoting the unclear forms of dei discrimination, “Carr wrote.

“I’m starting this wider effort with Comcast and NBCuniversal for two reasons. First, as mentioned above, there is significant evidence that your companies are still engaged in promoting Dei. Second, your companies cover a number of sectors regulated by the FCC -D cable to the high speed of the Internet and from the broadcast of TV stations to the wireless offer of MVNO, “Carr continued. “Therefore, I expect that this investigation by Comcast -his nbcunersal surgery will help the wider efforts of the Commission to eradicate invisible forms of dei discrimination in all sectors that FCC regulates.”
