Mary Trump - Forcing the Media to Lie
Brendan Carr, the corrupt, sycophantic chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is now threatening to revoke broadcast licenses after Donald criticized media coverage of the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, the war of choice he launched without seeking the permission of Congress or the American people.
What was Donald’s issue with the coverage? It’s accurate, so Carr is suggesting that television and radio stations could lose their licenses if they do not change their reporting to be more favorable to Donald--which is to say he is going to punish television and radio stations unless they start to lie. In an interview with increasingly Trump-regime-friendly CBS News, Carr claimed that broadcast licenses are not guaranteed rights and warned that stations could lose them if they failed to serve the public interest by, in his words, “telling the truth.”
In other words, Carr wants reporters and news organizations to lie to the American people about the very serious topic of war all in service to make Donald look good and his decisions seem rational.
Committing journalism, the very thing broadcasters are licensed to do, is being treated by the FCC as a potential violation if the reporting continues to displease Donald. Carr went even further, accusing some broadcasters of spreading “fake news,” which, as we all know, is Donald’s slight whenever factual reporting reflects badly on him.
