FCC Commissioner Rosenworcel on President Trump Tweets: History Won't Be Kind to Silence

Coverage Type: 

Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel of the Federal Communications Commission said that the FCC needs to stand up tall for the First Amendment and against threats against TV station licenses leveled by President Donald Trump. Commissioner Rosenworcel said that the FCC would definitely not pull the license of a station at the behest of the President, but she said it was important for all the commissioners "to make clear that they support the First Amendment and that the agency will not revoke a broadcast license simply because the agency is dissatisfied with the licensees' coverage."
