Donald Trump has attacked the free press as "the enemy of the people," called for journalists to be prosecuted, and threatened to strip the broadcast licenses of TV networks that dared to fact-check him.1

And now Trump has picked Brendan Carr, a MAGA loyalist who will carry out Trump's agenda of retribution, to run the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the agency responsible for regulating most media.
Carr has already said he plans to go after CBS and NBC over Kamala Harris's appearances on 60 Minutes and Saturday Night Live, and he refused to disavow Trump's call to push ABC off the air after the presidential debate.2
He’s such a moron. Networks don’t have like censes. Individual stations are licensed by the FCC. He’d have a hard time finding enough proof that 200 TV stations were not broadcasting in the public interest in order to get rid of a whole network.
Oops. Can't figure out how to edit this post, so I replied to it. "like censes" is supposed to read "licenses." Guess I didn't pay enough attention to the auto-correct.
