Why Donald Trump and Elon Musk are picking on broadcast TV

Summary

Nutrition label

64% Informative

Trump and other tech billionaires have started talking about revoking broadcast licenses for TV networks like ABC , NBC , and CBS because they don't like the news coverage from those networks.

Trump has been making threats like this since 2017 , but in recent days he’s been joined by Elon Musk , David Sacks , and others.

In a normal world, this would be idle billionaire wishcasting. But it turns out, there is a long and complex history of the government regulating speech on broadcast platforms like radio and television.
