NAB President Curtis LeGeyt criticized Donald Trump’s recent threats to revoke broadcast licenses over unfavorable coverage, arguing these actions undermine the First Amendment’s protection of press freedom. Trump has called for ABC’s license removal, alleging bias in its coverage of a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, and pressured CBS to release an unedited interview transcript with Harris. FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel dismissed these calls, affirming that content disputes do not justify license revocations. LeGeyt stressed that press freedom to critique government is central to democracy, especially as public trust in news remains fragile during the 2024 election season.
