By David Shepardson WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Donald Trump and the Federal Communications Commission have vowed to force American broadcast media outlets to make significant changes. CBS may be just the beginning.

Brendan Carr told Fox News that networks will "run into issues like [Stephen] Colbert" if they don't check bias and continue to "run a partisan circus."

Brendan Carr, FCC Chairman, joins CNBC's 'Squawk on the Street' to respond to allegations that the Trump Administration pressured Paramount into a settlement agreement before approving a merger with Skydance.

Hours after announcing the approval of Skydance’s merger with Paramount, FCC chairman Brendan Carr touted the company’s commitment to “addressing bias & restoring fact-based reporting” at CBS News, among other things.

FCC Chair Brendan Carr joins 'America's Newsroom' to discuss CBS News' decision to cancel 'The Late Show' and the reaction from media and the left.

Brendan Carr weighed in on what he called a "quite revealing" reaction to CBS's decision to end "The Late Show."

On Wednesday’s The View, Behar talked of Trump’s claim that his predecessor, Barack Obama, was guilty of treason, accusing his team of cooking the intelligence as a pretext for the Russian interference investigation in 2026. Through a spokesman, Obama called such claims “bizarre” and a “weak attempt at a distraction.”

The settlement came amid a pending merger with CBS parent company Paramount and Skydance, which requires administration approval. Colbert blasted the network for settling with Trump in what he deemed a “nuisance lawsuit” in a monologue on his show prior to being given the axe.
