Willingly kiss his ass? Or go down fighting?
I know, fight for freedom of the press.

Even threatening such should trigger immediate congressional hearings but not with this Congress. Bunch of spineless bootlickers.

Violating the 1st Amendment and blackmailing isn't a good look

Freedom of the press AND freedom of speech.

Spewing it doesn't make it so.

So… Yeah?
Where are the irony police?

Because it must be the truth.

Only 17% of households get their TV only over the air, which the FCC regulates.

If they deny broadcast licenses to ABC, CBS, and NBC, they can still broadcast through cable TV and the internet, no?

Not that the 17% aren’t important, or a significantly large portion of Americans, of course.

It’s only unconstitutional until the Six Supremes say it isn’t. This is where they earn their RV’s.
This war business allows for them to try work-arounds and define what “is” is.
The White House has already started to cloak the information and tweeze the spin, down even to enforcing “Vanity Control” on photographers.
I know I might catastrophize, but I wish I was wrong more often.

The public will love you for it and that love will brush off on your master. The judicial system is ready and waiting for your authoritarian order. Jump Brendan, jump!

You know what would be in the public’s interest?

Renewing the “Fairness Doctrine”, with a requirement to air equal access to all political sides in equal time.
And local content requirements, that any station must air at least 25% of the time, locally generated content about their community.

People are suffering from high inflation due to Trump's tariffs and his illegal war. There's no way you can polish that turd and make it look or smell better.

Too bad it doesn't extend to overseas news sources like the UK BBC, Al Jazeera, DW English, etc.

Sure he has he head planted firmly up Trump's ass. And sure he is an absolute enemy of free speech. But he's also a moron.

First, by attaching Trump's complaint about NEWSPAPER reporting to his tweet, Carr basically undermines his own argument. It's not a hoax for a tv station to report on what a newspaper -- the WSJ or the NYT for example -- has reported.

Second, Carr seems to be unaware -- or thinks somehow he can scare the big broadcasters with his threat. But the biggest drop owners, such as Sinclair, as well as CBS under its current management, are total suck ups for Trump. And the licenses for the most valuable licenses held by ABC and NBC -- their owned and operated station in NYC, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, etc. -- don't come up for renewal until December 2029, December 2030, or December 2031.

Doofus.

He's definitely a nat see. He's even growing facial hair now to soften his look compared to the skin head appearance of his previous photos.

Their firehose of lies is a case of diminishing returns and they're getting scared. They are definitely hiding something(s) so they are panicked.

A barking dog is a nervous dog.

Something's up.

(This was in the comments under Carr's post. )

It smells like the 1st Amendment.

I hate to break it to you, but they are operating in the interests of the public.

It's just not 'your' interests.

They are trying to make sure everyone knows the truth about you and yours. (Well, actually, they are trying to get rich, but if that also means they commit actual journalism once in a while, so be it.)

If you don't like it, please go ahead and do something stupid so we can get your ass removed as well.
