Republican rebukes FCC chair’s threats to revoke broadcast licenses over Iran war - The Guardian
Overview
A Republican lawmaker publicly rebuked the FCC chair after the chair suggested revoking licenses of outlets critical of U.S. policy in the Iran war, calling such threats government overreach and a danger to press freedom. The FCC's planned challenge to ABC's station licenses over the Jimmy Kimmel controversy reinforces concerns about the commission using licensing power in politically charged disputes, and has widened GOP unease about heavy-handed responses to media criticism.
