"The FCC takes these issues seriously," said Carr. "Broadcasters are prohibited by the terms of their federal licenses from engaging in news distortion or promoting broadcast hoaxes. It is important that broadcasters comply with their public interest obligations."

This just in: the FCC makes it illegal to broadcast 99% of what trump says.

Fr. Remember when he had a serious press meeting at like 830 and he made it into a huge fucking deal, and we all thought he was going to say boots on the ground in iran, because he made it into a huge deal.

but the mfer just rambled about being a loser in 2020 and lied about election stuff for like 30 minutes straight. That should have been illegal.
