      From the article:

      Trump-appointed Federal Communications Commissioner Chair Brenden Carr threatened to revoke broadcaster licenses over coverage of the Iran war, after Donald Trump accused news outlets of “intentionally misleading” the American public.

      Trump criticized media outlets for reporting that Iranian strikes damaged five U.S. Air Force refueling planes in Saudi Arabia. Trump claimed the planes suffered “virtually no damage.”

      „The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife „Papers“ and Media actually want us to lose the War,“ Trump said in a social media post, calling the journalists „sick and demented people.“

      Carr in a follow-up post warned the FCC would consider Iran war coverage when renewing broadcasters licenses.

      Adam Terr, director of public policy at The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a free speech nonprofit, condemned Carr, arguing it equated to government censorship and infringed on the First Amendment.

      „The president’s hand-picked misinformation czar is at it again, singling out „fake news“ that conflicts with his boss’s political agenda,“ Terr wrote in a post. „The First Amendment doesn’t allow the government to censor information about the war it’s waging.“

      FCC doesn’t govern streaming. Time to move there and away from broadcast

      Sounds like he’s the new Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.

      Reminder this was ALL in Project 2025, Carr wrote the section on the FCC and then what do you know he was appointed to the head of the FCC, yet Trump knew nothing about it. I’m tired.

      There’s a handful of broadcasters under the fcc and 100s that are not. He has no real power to stop news.
