The outgoing Democratic chair of the Federal Communications Commission is taking bold action on the way out the door, rejecting what she described as four efforts to weaponize the government’s TV licensing authority for political purposes.

In one of her final acts as head of the FCC, chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel ordered the agency to reject four complaints and petitions against local TV stations — which she says represent politically motivated efforts “to curtail freedom of the press and undermine the First Amendment.

The departing chairwoman of the FCC, Jessica Rosenworcel, warned of efforts to tie the broadcast station license renewals to news content, as the agency dismissed a series of complaints brought from the left and the right.

Donald Trump announced Senate aide Olivia Trusty as his pick for FCC commissioner, giving Republicans a majority at the regulatory agency.

Trump already has appointed Brendan Carr, a current commissioner, to serve a chairman of the agency. Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, appointed by President Joe Biden, said that she plans to step down and depart the FCC on Monday, when Trump takes office.
