Five questions Congress should ask the FCC commissioners on July 12

[Commentary] The five commissioners of the Federal Communications Commission are once again being hauled before Congress to explain themselves. This time it will be to answer questions from the House Commerce Committee on July 12. If we are to revitalize the FCC, here are five questions that Congress should ask at the hearing:

1) Why do members of Congress value a politicized FCC more than an independent FCC?
2) Does the Chairman propose to keep himself from being treated as a clerk?
3) What has your leadership meant to your professional staff?
4) What is your greatest disappointment in your work at the FCC?
5) In what ways have members of Congress contributed to the partisan divide at the FCC?
