The US Federal Communications Commission Chairman, Brendan Carr, has warned broadcasters that they must correct their actions before their license renewals come up. This comes as President Donald Trump's criticism of Iran's war reports was reposted on X, with Carr stating that broadcasters must operate in the public interest and will lose their licenses if they do not. The FCC issues licenses for television and radio broadcasters, but does not regulate news outlets with limited online and print distribution. Carr has previously criticized the Trump administration's pressure campaign against broadcasters, arguing that public distrust of the media supports his stance.
