US broadcast regulator has responded to a complaint by President Donald Trump about negative coverage of the Iran war, urging them to “correct course before their license renewals come up”.
Brendan Carr, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, has previously launched investigations into networks he has said are unfairly partisan, most notably pressuring ABC to take late-night host Jimmy Kimmel off the air.
It was the first time Carr had addressed Iran coverage, although Trump and the White House have sharpened their attacks in recent days against coverage they perceive as being unduly critical or unfair.
“The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not,” Carr warned in a social media post.
