The #FCC has limited power over issues like this, & its own website states the agency “cannot prevent the broadcast of any particular point of view,” so the notion of “punishment” for #KristenWelker, the moderator of #NBC’s “Meet the Press,” would historically [& legally] be a nonstarter.

But #BrendanCarr has been quick to respond to #Trump’s requests to go after #media organizations. And he has taken aggressive action against some #FCC licensees…

The posts were Trump’s most explicit efforts yet to direct the #FCC to carry out his wishes. FCC Chair #BrendanCarr, a Trump appointee & close ally, did not respond to request for comment.

#Trump posted a long missive Sunday about what he described as mischaracterizations of his endorsement record in primaries.

The #FCC, led by its chairman, #BrendanCarr, called for an unusual, early review of the broadcast licenses last spring, citing ABC’s internal diversity & inclusion practices. None of the #ABC licenses, which have terms of 8 years, were up for renewal yet. Carr’s decision came after the ABC late-night host, #JimmyKimmel, angered #Trump with a monologue joke.

#Trump is completely insane. Does he act like this with foreign leaders? He can’t handle being challenged at all. No wonder all his cabinet does is flatter & lie to him. Try to deal in facts & truth & he turns into a toddler having a temper tantrum.

#Trump abruptly ends #interview with NBC’s ‘#MeetThePress’

During the conversation Trump dismissed the idea that launching the #war with #Iran this year betrayed his campaign message of “No new wars.” At the end, #KristenWelker pressed Trump on the “#settlement” #SlushFund & his false claims about the #California #election.

A quotation from Henry Commager

Who are those who are really disloyal? Those who inflame racial hatreds, who sow religious and class dissensions. Those who subvert the Constitution by violating the freedom of the ballot box. Those who make a mockery of majority rule by the use of the filibuster. Those who impair democracy by denying equal educational facilities. Those who frustrate justice by lynch law or by making a farce of jury trials. Those who deny freedom of speech and of the press and of assembly. Those who press for special favors against the interest of the commonwealth. Those who regard public office as a source of private gain. Those who would exalt the military over the civil. Those who for selfish and private purposes stir up national antagonisms and expose the world to the ruin of war.

Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1947-09), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 3, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168

That way the 'professional' media refuse to say "this attack is a distraction from the President's Sex Crimes" but we all know it is.

Doesn't feel like the 'Free Press' are that free, does it?

On Monday, he filed a consumer fraud suit against pollster J. #AnnSelzer & the #DesMoinesRegister over an outlier poll it ran showing #Trump trailing #Harris in the presidential race in Iowa, a conservative state that he went on to win by 13 percentage points. The complaint does not hinge on a #defamation claim—public figures must cross a high legal threshold to prove that they’ve been libeled—but rather a perceived violation of the state’s consumer protection statute.
