⚖️ THE FOX DOUBLE STANDARD:

Carr's rule: "hoaxes and distortions."

Fox was sued for $1.6B for proven election lies.

Carr's FCC: silence.

The rule only applies to Trump's enemies.

🌍 THE WORLD'S VERDICT:

V-Dem Institute: US is NO LONGER a full democracy.

Freedom of expression at its LOWEST since WWII.

International Press Institute: FCC actions are "unconstitutional."

We've been warned.

😤 CARR BRAGGED AT CPAC — MARCH 27:

"PBS — defunded. NPR — defunded. Joy Reid — gone. Acosta — gone."

Crowd cheered.

"Trump is winning."

Said the quiet part loud.

This is a coordinated purge of independent voices.

#CPAC #BrendanCarr #NPR #PressFreedom

📡 WHAT THE FCC CAN'T DO:

It controls LOCAL broadcast licenses only — not the networks.

Zero authority over cable or streaming.

Revoking a license over content? Legally unprecedented.

The chilling effect IS the weapon.

🇺🇸 TRUMP: JOURNALISTS ARE TRAITORS:

Truth Social: "fake news" should face TREASON charges.

For reporting on a war.

CPJ: "Restricting what media reports is the hallmark of an authoritarian government."

Coordinated. Deliberate.

#Treason #PressFreedom #IranWar

📅 HOW IT STARTED — MARCH 14:

Carr on X: "Broadcasters running hoaxes can correct course before license renewal."

No names. No due process. Fall in line or lose your license.

Day after Hegseth banned "unflattering" press photos.

Why some wars don’t make headlines As media attention is focused on Iran and the wider region, three journalists from Uganda, Burkina Faso and Ethiopia reflect on why so many conflicts go ignored.

And why isn't the US military or US federal executive or legislative officials weighing in on this?

Oh, that's right. This came from a concerned Israeli official & 2nd source is/are reporting this. That's why.

For a country that has been an official candidate since 1999, these restrictive policies represent a systemic disparity. EU representatives must address these barriers to align border policies with stated commitments to #PressFreedom and human rights in #Turkey.

A judge handed NPR and PBS a real First Amendment win, but not a material restoration of what Congress had already torn away. “NPR and PBS need not apply for any federal benefit because the President disapproves of their ‘left wing’ coverage of the news.” “ [V]iewpoint discrimination and retaliation of this type” violates the First Amendment. Judge Randolph Moss, quoted by Ars Technica “This is a ridiculous ruling by an activist judge attempting to undermine the law.” White House spokesperson, in a statement to Ars Technica “ [A] decisive affirmation of the rights of a free and independent press.” Katherine Maher, NPR chief executive “ [T]extbook unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination and retaliation.” PBS, in a statement

📻⚖️💸 Trump’s order to choke off NPR and PBS funding was struck down as unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination — but Congress had already gutted public-broadcasting money, so the win is more principle than rescue. #NPR #PBS #PublicMedia #PressFreedom #FirstAmendment

The good news: Public media secured a huge win for the First Amendment and press freedom in federal court this week. The reality check: This victory does nothing to restore funding for public media. #pubmedia #firstammendment #PressFreedom
