“Brendan Carr, chair of the Federal Communications Commission, on Saturday issued a threat to broadcasters’ licenses over ‘hoaxes and news distortions — also known as the fake news.’ Carr is the latest member of the Trump administration to weigh in on what it calls false reporting by major news organizations, including news networks, about the two-week old war in Iran. … ‘The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters,’ he said.” (03/14/26)
