Since the Republicans in Congress are unwilling to reign in the anti-democratic policies and actions of the Trump Administration, it has been up to the Judiciary and the Press to protect the rights of Americans. Now, defying our Constitution, Brendan Carr, the FCC Chairman, has threatened to revoke the license of news organizations that report negative information about the Iran War.
Of course, those in the Trump Administration are focused solely on pleasing Our Dear Leader. Their mission is to support and praise the opinions and actions of the King and, in their minds, truth is what Trump says it is. Those who speak out against his deranged and dangerous decrees are thus considered to be enemies of the State.
Freedom of the Press is an essential element of our Democracy. Efforts to control the news that we receive is just the latest and, in my opinion, the most disturbing step toward authoritarian rule.
