President Donald Trump and his FCC chair, Brendan Carr, have been threatening the media over their coverage of the U.S. involvement in Iran, with Carr threatening TV networks as he is unhappy with their coverage. The move comes as President Donald Trump has been increasingly aggressive towards the press, often followed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth who banned photographers from press briefings due to criticism. This latest threat comes from Carr, who has previously threatened to seize station licenses over station decisions at major television networks. Critics argue that these threats pose a danger to broadcasters' content based on Carr's dissatisfaction with their content. However, experts in media regulation have noted that the process for removing station licenses is complicated and onerous by design.
