FCC head says government-funded Trump ads are ‘normal’ and ‘don’t raise any red flags’

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center Brendan Carr’s claim that the taxpayer-funded Trump ads are ordinary and do not warrant FCC review. NBC News emphasizes his wording that they are “normal-course public service announcements” and would not “merit any sort of” review, while The Hill adds that Carr was responding to criticism from Democrats and government watchdogs. The Hill’s extract is also the only one that explicitly frames the ad as having sparked outrage this week.
