Trump: Broadcast Licenses Should Be Terminated Over Negative Coverage
President Trump suggested terminating broadcast licenses for networks with predominantly negative coverage of him, the GOP, and late-night hosts. This statement followed a Truth Social post criticizing Stephen Colbert and questioning the quality and ratings of all late-night shows. This is not the first time Trump has considered revoking broadcast licenses, as he previously expressed similar sentiments. The FCC, which issues these licenses and is not a completely independent agency, has not commented on the matter, and the networks in question have remained silent.
