Trump and Newsom Clash Over Censorship and Presidential Media Control

March 15, 2026 • Google News World

Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

Four US government officials have made public statements regarding censorship and media coverage of recent events.

The first statement came from former President Donald Trump, who claimed that he was “reshaping the media” through his administration’s actions.

In response to this claim, California Governor Gavin Newsom stated that such claims were “misleading” and that the government should not be involved in censoring news broadcasts.

Meanwhile, the head of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), has threatened to revoke broadcast licenses for news outlets that report on certain topics, including a recent incident involving damaged US tankers in Iran.

The FCC chair stated that such reports are “hoaxes” and that the commission would take action against broadcasters who continue to spread this misinformation.

Additionally, the Trump administration has issued a statement threatening news outlets that criticize their handling of the situation with Iran.
