For years, intercessors have watched fake news poison and infest the mainstream media. Now, however, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr is taking action to put an end to the rampant spread of deception.
Post a prayer for your state!
From the Daily Caller:
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr warned media outlets Saturday that they may lose their broadcast licenses if they insist on running “fake news” content.
Carr wrote in an X post he was giving broadcasters who were “running hoaxes and news distortions ‐ also known as the fake news” the chance to “correct course before their license renewals come up.” His warning came in response to a Truth Social post by President Donald Trump slamming “the Fake News Media” for what he called an “intentionally misleading headline” about U.S. Air Force planes reportedly hit by an Iranian missile strike.
“The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not,” the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman wrote in his post. “And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters.”
According to Chairman Carr, this is all about bringing back trust “into media,” The Chairman notes that, in 2020, a Gallup survey found that only 95 of Americans had a “great deal” of trust in the mainstream media, further highlighting the need for integrity.
The Chairman also highlights a specific, recent example of lies in the mainstream media. For example many in the “Fake News Media” have said that five tanker planes were struck down recently at a Saudi Arabian airport. In reality, however, Chairman Carr points out that all five planes are five, with only one plane being damaged at all.
As intercessors, we have spent years praying for fairness in our media and the news. Let’s thank God for Chairman Carr, and let’s pray he and the Trump administration would be successful in countering and stopping fake news!

Thank you Lord, that Chairman Carr is planning to set some standards in how news is reported. May he be undergirded by your Spirit as he establishes standards for truthful reporting. We know that Satan’s most effective weapons are lies and deceit, and they can be neutralized by truth. Bless these efforts to hold journalists responsible for accurate truthful reports.
Thank you Father for moving in the FCC to stop the media from putting out lies in the name of news. May those broadcasters be out if they put out lies. Change their hearts to be honest.

That was in the last article holding instead of holiday.
It’s about time these lying networks are held accountable for lying over & over to the American 🇺🇸 people. No wonder there’s so much hate . If they can’t tell the truth and give the news (honest news) they should be cancelled.
This s a very noble effort to clean up our fake news/legacy media. I pray, Lord Jesus, that You will make a way for this to happen. The American people deserve to know the truth regarding ALL issues and how they are reported by the news outlets in our nation.. It is vital to end this deception comes to an end in our news reporting in America. Thank You Jesus.
