Show Notes
Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr warned broadcasters about spreading hoaxes or news distortions, especially regarding the war in Iran. He emphasized the public interest requirement for broadcast stations, unlike cable or online media. Carrs comments came in response to President Trumps complaints about media reports on an attack on U.S. air tankers in Saudi Arabia. Critics argued that Carrs warnings were government pressure for favorable war coverage, violating the First Amendment. Carr clarified theres no immediate license review push but pointed to ongoing probes and past flaps. License renewals start as early as June 2028, and Carr supports big mergers like Nexstar buying Tegna for better local control.
