The "evidence" might be lacking, but the rhetoric isn't. It will be bad
form if this is minority commissioners complaining to Congress.
"Was accused"? by whom?
J. Edgar Dingell is known for this type of brow-beating (not just of the
FCC) when the Democrats are in the majority, and he's the longest-serving
member of Congress.

Asunto: [opendtv] Rep. Dingell orders investigation of FCC
Trouble for the Commish?
Excerpted from the AP:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 (AP) - The chairman of the House Energy and Commerce
Committee, saying that the Federal
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/f/federal
_communications_commission/index.html?inline=nyt-org> Communications
Commission had suffered "an apparent breakdown in an open and transparent
regulatory process," ordered an investigation of the agency.
"Given several events and proceedings over the past year, I am rapidly
losing confidence that the commission has been conducting its affairs in an
appropriate manner," the chairman, Representative John D. Dingell
<http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/d/john_d_dingell
/index.html?inline=nyt-per> , Democrat of Michigan, said in a letter dated
Monday to the F.C.C. chairman, Kevin J. Martin.
...
The letter comes in the wake of a Nov. 27 public meeting of the commission,
in which Mr. Martin was accused of selectively withholding data from a
report on competition in the cable television industry to favor his
position.
