Unnecessary and gratuitous dig at Trump and Ajit Pai at the end of the article, especially with no supporting evidence or explanation given.

No fan of Trump, but yea, just for SEO I think. Esp considering Obama had put him on the board to begin with, Trump only had him chair.

It should be noted that Obama was legally required to appoint a Republican to that slot, and took Mitch McConnell's recommendation.

Making him Chairman is an explicit vote of confidence far greater than "I have to pick someone I don't really like, might as well be this guy".

Ah yes, I remember when Obama was forced to select this guy during the great rebulican shortage.

I felt the dig at Pai was more warranted than the Trump one. But overall, neither added very much.
