President Trump’s push to expand the Federal Communications Commission's authority over broadcast journalism "risks First Amendment conflicts and could backfire under future administrations."  That's the viewpoint of the nonresident Senior Fellow for Technology Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute.
