AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Left
Brendan Carr, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, threatened on Saturday to revoke broadcasters' licenses over their coverage of the war with Iran, his latest move in a campaign to stomp out what he sees as liberal bias in broadcasts.
As the war entered its third week, Mr. Carr accused broadcasters of "running hoaxes and news distortions" in a social media post and warned them to "correct course before their license renewals come up."
