Human cheeseball and CNN content creator Brian Stelter is very concerned this week after Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr publicly reminded TV broadcast stations that they in fact do not have a right to deliberately lie to voters using the public airwaves.
Three times in as many days, Stelter has referred to a “threat” from Carr last weekend wherein the chairman said, “Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.” The statement came in the context of President Trump and other administration officials complaining — not always justifiably — that the media were excessively negative in their coverage of our war with Israel on Iran. “Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions — also known as the fake news — have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up,” Carr said. “The law is clear.”
