Before “Democratic Commissioner Anna Gomez described the move as "an escalation in this FCC's ongoing campaign to censor and control speech."”
After “Republican FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said networks”
Why it was flagged
Gomez is identified by party, but Carr is introduced only as "FCC Chairman" with no party identification, leaving a partisan frame for the critic and none for the chairman.
What was done
Labeled Carr by party as well so both officials are identified the same way. Cited for it: the AP report (Boston.com, 18 November 2024) calling him 'the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission', added to the entry's sources.

Before “FCC withdraws the automatic news-interview exemption for late-night and daytime talk shows.”
After “FCC Media Bureau guidance says late-night and daytime talk shows cannot assume the bona fide news interview exemption applies to them.”
Why it was flagged
Description overstates a Media Bureau guidance notice as a formal withdrawal; DA 26-68 says it had not been presented with evidence any current talk show qualifies and that prior rulings are fact-specific. The statutory exemption itself was unchanged.
What was done
Reworded the frontmatter description to match what DA 26-68 states. The title ('Narrows ... Exemption') and filename/slug were left unchanged since renaming alters the public URL and the body already states the precise mechanism.
