... While the Federal Communications Commission has historically operated with a degree of independence from U.S. presidents, its new chairman, Brendan Carr, has muscularly followed Trump's lead.

Carr has launched formal reviews of nearly all the major broadcast networks " ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR and PBS. He has also initiated investigations into the diversity, equity and inclusion actions of the corporate parents of ABC and NBC -- the Walt Disney Co. and Comcast, respectively.

One network has so far escaped his scrutiny: Fox, which is owned by Trump political ally Rupert Murdoch.

Carr has also publicly supported lawsuits Trump filed as a private citizen against ABC and CBS, which yielded twin $16 million settlements from the networks' parent companies. (Trump is suing Murdoch's Wall Street Journal for reporting that he sent a sexually suggestive birthday greeting to the disgraced late financier Jeffrey Epstein.)

In a trio of social media posts late Sunday, the president attacked the media and accused ABC and NBC of being "two of the worst and most biased networks in history." He said, without citing any evidence, that 97% of the stories they had aired about him were "BAD STORIES" and suggested they were an arm of the Democratic Party. ...

@#1 ... the president attacked the media and accused ABC and NBC of being "two of the worst and most biased networks in history. ...

So, Pres Trump does not appear to like the truth being reported, so he wants to shut down the stations?

@#7 ... We license individual stations only. We do not license TV or radio networks (such as CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, etc.) ...

Bingo!

The FCC would have to revoke the license of each and every ABC and NBC affiliate and network-owned station.

How many lawsuits would the FCC then have to be fighting in Court?

And then there would be streaming of the content.

Does the FCC have control over streaming?

Let's look at NBC ...
