Overview
- In a Truth Social post, the president accused NBC of biased coverage and said broadcasters should be “properly licensed” and pay for use of public airwaves.
- He also revived a 2020 claim from Warnock’s ex-wife that was reported to Atlanta police, though medical examiners found no evidence of injury.
- The call for scrutiny followed FCC Chair Brendan Carr’s Senate testimony asserting authority over broadcast speech, including shutting down networks for satire.
- Warnock, a longtime pastor, defended his faith as a bridge and used his Meet the Press appearance to urge moral action after the Brown University shooting.
- As of Thursday, there is no public indication that the FCC has initiated enforcement tied to the president’s demand.
