[联邦通信委员会]主席布伦丹·卡尔周六发出威胁，称将吊销广播执照，呼应了特朗普总统对新闻网络报道美以对伊朗战争的批评。
“正在编造骗局和歪曲新闻——也就是所谓的假新闻——的广播机构，现在有机会在执照续期到来之前纠正方向，”卡尔[在社交媒体上表示]，部分内容为。“法律很明确。广播机构必须为公众利益服务，如果不这样做，将失去执照。”
卡尔没有点名具体的网络，也没有引用他认为报道错误的任何报道。但卡尔的帖子提到了总统周六上午在[真实社交]上发布的关于五架美国加油机在沙特阿拉伯的帖子。
“五架中有四架几乎没有损坏，并且已经重新投入使用，”特朗普先生写道。“正如假新闻在标题中所说，没有一架被摧毁，或接近被摧毁。”
特朗普多次指责媒体错误报道伊朗战争。2025年9月，总统表示，报道对他不利的网络“或许应该被吊销执照”。他说这一决定“由”卡尔决定，而卡尔是他当年早些时候任命的。
在卡尔告诉右翼播客本尼·约翰逊，深夜主持人[吉米·坎摩尔]关于查理·柯克遇刺案嫌疑人的评论“现在是迪士尼非常非常严重的问题”数小时后，坎摩尔的节目在9月中旬被停播。特朗普先生赞扬了播出该节目的美国广播公司(ABC)做出的决定。“《吉米·坎摩尔秀！》[近一周后]恢复播出。”
一些保守派人士，包括得克萨斯州共和党参议员特德·克鲁兹，[表示卡尔做得太过分了]。然而，总统为他辩护。
“我认为布伦丹·卡尔做得非常出色，”总统告诉记者。
今年8月，特朗普表示，全国广播公司(NBC)和美国广播公司(ABC)“给我97%的坏报道”，他将“完全支持”吊销其联邦通信委员会的执照。
联邦通信委员会是一个独立机构，向个别广播电台颁发八年期执照，其中许多由电视网络拥有和运营。它不为哥伦比亚广播公司(CBS)、全国广播公司(NBC)、美国广播公司(ABC)或福克斯等电视网络颁发执照。
该机构在其网站上表示，“《第一修正案》和《通信法》明确禁止委员会审查广播内容。”它还指出，委员会监督空中电波内容的作用“非常有限”。联邦通信委员会传统上对电视网络播出的内容施加的影响有限，部分原因是[《第一修正案》的保护]。

FCC chair threatens news networks’ licenses amid Trump’s criticism of Iran war coverage
March 14, 2026 / 3:27 PM EDT / CBS News
[Federal Communications Commission] Chair Brendan Carr threatened to revoke broadcast licenses on Saturday, echoing criticism from President Trump over news networks’ coverage of the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran.
“Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions – also known as the fake news – have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up,” Carr [said on social media], in part. “The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not.”
The FCC chair did not name specific networks or cite any stories he believes were reported incorrectly. But Carr’s post referenced a Saturday morning [Truth Social]post from the president about five U.S. tanker aircraft in Saudi Arabia.
“Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service,” Mr. Trump wrote. “None were destroyed, or close to that, as the Fake News said in headlines.”
Mr. Trump has repeatedly accused the media of falsely reporting on the war in Iran. In September 2025, the president said that networks covering him negatively [should “maybe” have their licenses revoked]. He said such a decision would “be up to” Carr, whom he appointed earlier that year.
Hours after Carr told right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson that comments by late-night host[Jimmy Kimmel]about the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s assassination were “a very, very serious issue right now for Disney,” Kimmel’s show was pulled from air in mid-September. Mr. Trump praised ABC, which airs the program, for the decision. “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” [resumed nearly a week] later.
Some conservatives, including Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, [said Carr went too far]. However, the president defended him.

“I think Brendan Carr is doing a great job,” the president told reporters.
In August, Mr. Trump said NBC and ABC “give me 97% BAD STORIES,” and he would be “totally in favor” of revoking their FCC licenses.
The FCC, an independent agency, issues eight-year licenses to individual broadcast stations, many of which are owned and operated by television networks. It does not license TV networks such as CBS, NBC, ABC or Fox.
On its website, the agency says the “First Amendment and the Communications Act expressly prohibit the Commission from censoring broadcast matter.” It also states that the commission’s role in overseeing content on the air waves “is very limited.” The FCC has traditionally exerted limited influence over the content aired by TV networks, partly due to[First Amendment protections].
