Trump and FCC chair threaten media over Iran coverage, sparking backlash over press freedom.

President Trump and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr escalated tensions with the press by threatening to revoke broadcast licenses over coverage of the Iran conflict, prompting sharp criticism from late-night hosts like Jimmy Kimmel, who mocked the move as government overreach and an attack on press freedom. Kimmel ridiculed Trump’s praise of Carr, calling him a “schnauzer,” and highlighted the irony of targeting media for reporting while Trump himself fueled misinformation. The backlash underscores growing concerns over press freedom and political interference in journalism.
