Trump Could Weaponize FCC Against Media in Second Term, Reports Washington Post
Nov 1, 2024, 06:44 PM
Donald Trump, both as a candidate and during his presidency, has called for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to revoke the licenses of media outlets he deems as 'fake news,' such as NBC and ABC. Tom Wheeler discusses what powers the president has over the FCC and beyond. In a potential second term, Trump could weaponize the FCC against the media by installing a more cooperative bureaucracy to punish broadcasters that air unfavorable coverage. This plan, reported by the Washington Post, could involve seizing control of the FCC to crack down on independent media. The report, authored by Beth Reinhard and Sarah Ellison, notes that some GOP members argue such actions are unconstitutional and un-American.
