Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr is facing backlash after he threatened broadcasters’ licenses amid President Donald Trump’s complaints about media coverage of the Iran war.
“Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions — also known as the fake news — have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up,” Carr wrote Saturday on X. “The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.”
