Expert reveals the Trump FCC crusader's airtime battles could backfire spectacularly

A media expert revealed on Wednesday that President Donald Trump's leader at the Federal Communications Commission may have created a situation that will backfire spectacularly.

Throughout the second Trump administration, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr has sought to enforce the agency's equal time rule, which has gotten several left-leaning shows in hot water with the agency. The rule requires radio and television channels to provide equal airtime to political candidates of all views. Most recently, the lawyers at CBS News told late-night comedian Stephen Colbert that he could not interview Democratic Texas state lawmaker James Talarico because it might violate the equal time rule.

'Phenomenal idea!' Jen Psaki giddy as Trump may send 'nightmare' Cabinet on campaign trail

President Donald Trump is reportedly mulling an unconventional new strategy to try to turn around his flagging polls ahead of the midterm elections — and former Joe Biden press secretary turned MS NOW commentator Jen Psaki urged him to go for it.

"I just want to start with something that happened actually last night, because last night, Trump's top political advisers met for a private meeting," said Psaki. "This included his former campaign manager, his pollster, his chief of staff. They all huddled together at the private members-only Capitol Hill Club in D.C. to discuss what they think should be Trump's midterm strategy. And according to the Wall Street Journal's Josh Dawsey, a big part of that crack team's plan is to encourage Trump's Cabinet secretaries to visit competitive districts."

MAGA activists are 'bragging' violent crackdown was just a 'test run': analyst

President Donald Trump's empowerment of voter fraud conspiracies, immigration enforcement, and violent crackdown on protesters in places like Minnesota are all connected, Media Matters for America chief Angelo Carusone argued on MS NOW Wednesday.

"There are others all across the government, you know, not just on the inside but on the outside that are helping reinforce and buttress that narrative from official purchase," said Carusone, whose own liberal watchdog group has faced legal attacks by the Trump administration. "People like Heather Honey, other 2020 election deniers, suddenly have special government employee status so that they can help work on these investigations that are now taking place elsewhere. So that's the first piece. They have the ability now to operationalize threads of that narrative from an official position."
