Donald Trump’s Federal Communications Commission chair, Brendan Carr, has issued a public threat to news broadcasters: Report the Iran war the way the administration wants, or lose your license to operate.
That’s right: The U.S. government has threatened to silence news organizations for covering a war in ways that the president doesn’t like.
This is a direct attack on freedom of the press and freedom of speech.
This is exactly how an authoritarian government acts. By censoring what people know about war, it controls the narrative and the war itself.
Since the beginning of Trump’s second term, we’ve watched as corporate news outlets fold under pressure.
CBS ended Stephen Colbert’s contract.
ABC temporarily suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
“60 Minutes,” which airs on CBS News, postponed a segment on the Salvadoran prison CECOT where interviewees described torture.
Over the last 15 months, we’ve witnessed a chilling effect on news organizations — they’re pulling coverage, softening headlines, and spiking investigations. Now we’re seeing something else: an unconstitutional abuse of government power. So we’re demanding action.
Impeachment may be a long shot with this Congress, but public pressure works. The push to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem likely had a direct impact on Trump’s decision to fire her. And drawing up articles of impeachment against Carr would help show that this conduct is beyond the pale and build momentum for change at the FCC.
