The only way to make sure this is not normalized is to make the administration pay a heavy price for its actions in this area. That means filing a lawsuit, especially if the licenses are not renewed.
Lawsuits are only so helpful when the courts function as a de facto extension of the executive branch.
Thankfully, the lower district courts have (mostly) not been happy to serve the wishes of the executive branch. Now if we could only get the appeals and Supreme Courts to do the same...
Carr keeps insisting this ABC license renewal thing is about DEI. However we should point out that DEI isn't illegal.

ABC: License Renewal Demands From FCC 'Unlawful, Unconstitutional'
As part of the filing, it said it was doing so "under protest in response to an unlawful, arbitrary, and unconstitutional order" from the FCC.

True we keep running into stuff about the FCC going after Jimmy Kimmel and the View. Yes in each case it’s about the first amendment issue. But they devolved into whatever Trump was offended with at that time.Carr keeps insisting this ABC license renewal thing is about DEI. However we should point out that DEI isn't illegal.

On Thursday, the FCC issued a statement reminding broadcasters of their "public interest obligations:

In it, they say that broadcasters have an obligation to "fairly and impartially inform the public."
That calls into question hundreds of conservative talk radio stations that are anything but impartial in the way they talk about controversial issues.

"No broadcaster has a 'right' to use the public spectrum," is the blunt message that the FCC Media Bureau delivered on Thursday in a public notice that has only inflamed the ongoing debate over public interest that has defined the FCC under Chairman Brendan Carr.

The only groups this FCC is going to go after on this redefinition are groups that publish or air anything critical of President Trump. The idea of required public service for radio stations is actually a good one but *only* if that requirement applys the same all the way across the board, and Mr. Trump, as he does in other areas, prefers to play favorites!
Then when that happens, those stations need to have examples of how conservative talk radio stations are doing the same thing. These cases need to be taken out of regulatory agencies and moved to the courts. The courts have already ruled that agencies can't operate as though they're courts.
From the linked article:
When you grant a broadcaster a license, that gives them a right to use the public airwaves. By definition, that's what a license is. The foundation of the American system of broadcasting is that the government grants licenses, which give broadcasters a right to use the airwaves.
This commission is using the vague words of "the public interest" to act as judge & jury in order to deny free speech. The supreme court ruled in the Chevron case that regulatory agencies can't do this.
Are satellite transponders public airwaves? Could they go after cable as well.
No
It’s radio frequencies delivering the signal. I’m sure Trump could come up with an excuse to go after something he doesn’t like.
The administration has been very direct and specific that it doesn't regulate cable TV. This only applies to broadcasting.
He knows that network news doesn’t need the networks to get their news out. They can just go direct. Pulling licenses won’t stop them.
A recent supreme court decision limits some of the FCC's power regarding the penalties it can impose. The decision says that there needs to be a jury trial if any penalties are imposed. So the commission itself can't take away licenses for example.

This gets back to their Chevron decision regarding the power of regulatory agencies.
SCOTUS Rules FCC Penalties Require Jury to Collect - Radio Ink
The Supreme Court ruled 8-1 that FCC fines are constitutional but non-binding — any company that refuses to pay is entitled to a jury trial before the DOJ can collect.

This gets back to their Chevron decision regarding the power of regulatory agencies.
And matters of law and the Constitution have mattered so far? Other than tariffs, and that of as much about businesse$$ as any trivial matter of law, SCOTUS has twisted the Constitution and precedent like a pretzel to support almost everything the regime desires.Carr keeps insisting this ABC license renewal thing is about DEI.
