Former President Donald Trump has sharply criticized major American news networks, accusing them of deliberately presenting a distorted and negative portrayal of his administration. During remarks in the Oval Office, Trump asserted that positive developments are often misrepresented and went so far as to suggest the practice should be considered unlawful.
This criticism comes amid a renewed debate over free speech, which was ignited after ABC temporarily pulled comedian Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show from its schedule. Trump, who has initiated several defamation cases against media companies this year, reiterated his frequent claim that an overwhelming majority of his press coverage is unfavorable.
In his comments, Trump singled out FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr for praise. Carr recently made headlines by criticizing Kimmel for a segment concerning conservative activist Charlie Kirk, suggesting that broadcasters airing the show could potentially face regulatory consequences.
