This Brendan Carr (FCC) bullsh*t about broadcast networks losing their license if they don't "course correct"... [View all]

...you can read his whole screed here: https://www.ms.now/news/trump-fcc-chair-news-networks-iran-war-coverage

It includes a link to his tweet. I don't want to post the content here because, it is in fact, bullshit.

But this is where we've arrived. The Trump admin demanding that the broadcast networks tell HIS VERSION OF THE STORY or LOSE THEIR LICENCE.
