FCC Chairman Brendan Carr issued a pointed warning to broadcasters covering the Iran war, threatening license revocation and urging networks to correct course before their licenses are renewed. The warning came in direct response to President Trump's complaints about the negative coverage of war. Carr, who previously pressured ABC over Jimmy Kimmel, cited a public interest standard and warned that broadcasters subsidized by public airwaves must earn the trust they have lost. Press freedom advocates are likely to view the move as government editorial pressure.#politics #politicsnews #FCC
