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."
"Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media."
- Eliot Higgins
