- The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission said Wednesday that US broadcast networks could violate their regulatory obligations by airing "entirely fake polls and suppression polls."

FCC Chair Brendan Carr has faced pressure from President Donald Trump to crack down on US broadcasters and journalists.

Carr in April ordered an unprecedented early license review for all eight of Disney's DIS.N company-owned ABC TV stations.
