Cruz Press Wikipedia after criticizing FCC chair
Cruz sent the letter about two weeks after criticizing the Federal Communications Commission chairman Brendan Carr for threatening ABC with the cancellations of the station license about political content about the show of Jimmy Kimmel. Cruz said that the use of the government to dictate what the media can say “will be bad for conservatives,” because when Democrats are back in power, “they will silence us, they will use this power, and they will use it ruthlessly.” Cruz said that CARR was threatening ABC like “a mafioso that came in a bar,” nice bar you have here, it would be a shame if something would happen. “
However, Cruz, chairman of the Senate Committee, does not mind using its authority to put pressure on the Wikipedia operator. “The standing rules of the Senate grant the Commission for Trade, Science and Transport Jurisdiction on communication, including online information platforms,” he wrote to the Wikimedia Foundation. “As chairman of the committee, I ask you to give written answers to the questions below, as well as requested documents, by 17 October 2025, and in accordance with the attached instructions.”
We have asked the Cruz office to explain why a senator who puts Wikipedia under pressure is suitable, while an FCC chair that puts pressure on ABC is not and will update this article if we receive a response.
Among other things, Cruz asked 'documents sufficiently to demonstrate what supervision, supervision or influence, if present, the Wikimedia Foundation has about the editing community' and 'Documents sufficient to show how the Wikimedia Foundation tackles political or ideological bias'.
Cruz has started separate investigation into the BIDEN administration for alleged censorship. He reportedly issued a report “revealing how the Biden administration De CyberSecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) transformed into an agent of censorship who put Big Tech under pressure on police -speech”, and a hearing for Wednesday, “Close your app: HOWANBEBON” Close your app: HOWABON SAWANBON “Close your Uncle Samerbon Samer.
The letter from Cruz to Wikimedia is looking for evidence that could come out in his current investigations into the Biden administration. “Give all documents and communication – including e -mails, text messages or other digital messages – between every officer, employee or agent of the Wikimedia Foundation and every officer, employee or agent of the federal government since January 1, 2020,” the letter said.
