[Speaking of Freedom of Expression, Trump's #FCC chair is threatening the broadcast licenses of any #news agency whose reporting does not please the king.]
"The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT."
- US Senator Chris Murphy

Here is #BrendanCarr, quote-posting #Trump & threatening the broadcast licenses of any #news organization that does not provide favorable coverage of Trump's #war in #Iran:
"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.
The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public [Trump's] interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not."
