WASHINGTON (AN) — The Trump administration is intensifying efforts to police critical media coverage, triggering unified legal resistance within the U.S. and forceful condemnation globally from press freedom groups.
Critics warn that the actions risk undermining the U.S.'s global reputation and emboldening authoritarian nations. The latest escalation came on Tuesday with the Committee to Protect Journalists publicly calling on Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr to stop using the agency’s regulatory authority to target broadcasters.
