Media Regulation and First Amendment

President Donald Trump used Truth Social early Wednesday to argue that TV networks whose newscasts and late‑night shows are 'almost 100% Negative' toward him, the MAGA movement and Republicans should have their broadcast licenses 'terminated,' directly attacking CBS, ABC and NBC hosts and urging FCC action despite legal limits on government censorship. The article notes that Trump has previously floated letting FCC Chairman Brendan Carr decide whether to revoke licenses, while the FCC’s own guidance cites the First Amendment and Communications Act as barring the commission from censoring broadcast content, and comes amid recent testimony and website changes raising questions about the agency’s independence.
