FCC Chairman Brendan Carr says he'll defer to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on whether broadcast TV networks can air the planned execution of Nidal Hasan by firing squad. The Pentagon indicates the livestream will be on an online platform outside FCC jurisdiction, though Carr acknowledged the agency's role over public airwaves.
Background
Nidal Hasan was convicted for the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13 people. The FCC regulates broadcast television but has limited jurisdiction over online streaming platforms.
