"Warmongers Come for the Media": Trump Threatens Media with "Treason" Charges over Iran War Coverage



The Trump administration is escalating threats against news organizations, with President Trump suggesting outlets should face “treason” charges for disseminating false information. Brendan Carr, the chair of the Federal Communications Commission, has also threatened to revoke broadcasters’ licenses over their coverage of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. This all comes as allies of President Trump consolidate their control over several major media outlets. Paramount Skydance, led by Trump ally David Ellison, is poised to acquire Warner Bros., which includes CNN.

... and his malignant minions, like Carr, usually cringe and retreat from bringing suit over blatantly unconstitutional charges when a defendant's lawyers say, "Oh boy! Discovery's gonna be FUN!"
They all have closets full of skeletons that are stuffed like a Tokyo subway, and really don't want to see them all come tumbling out.
The litigious Trump loves to intimidate people by suing them, and doesn't really care if he wins; he just cackles with malicious glee when someone is bankrupted by legal fees defending themselves against his frivolous lawsuits.
Oh, and by the way, Satan, your boy here is well past his expiration date, so maybe you should call him back home, whaddya say, before someone he's fucked over chops him into chum and sends him back in a bunch of Baggies.
