In a provocative response to media coverage of the ongoing conflict with Iran, President Trump has accused news outlets of portraying the war in a negative light, which he believes could imply a desire for America to fail. Trump's sentiments are echoed by the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), who has controversially suggested that media organizations could face repercussions regarding their licenses if they do not align more positively with the administration's narrative. Trump has leveraged various tactics, including lawsuits, to exert pressure on journalists and news entities since taking office, contributing to a notable decline in journalists' credibility.
