In the many years I’ve spent covering the right-wing effort to dominate the news, I’ve never seen anything like the Trump administration’s war against ABC, NBC and CBS. For months, I’ve been tracking its use of F.C.C. authority to punish the networks for perceived bias.

The campaign relies on obscure regulatory powers that require broadcast stations to serve the public interest. They’ve never been used as the F.C.C. is using them now — to argue that the networks have a liberal bias that is contrary to the public interest.

That campaign is part of a larger effort to create a new era of conservative mass media. One of the lawyers behind the effort told me “the libertarian free-market answer isn’t working,” so his group is pushing the F.C.C. to “clear the way for family friendly, faith-inspired patriotic content.”

The reporting took me into the middle of a conservative rift over speech that widened considerably after Senator Ted Cruz criticized the F.C.C. chair, Brendan Carr, for very publicly demanding that ABC suspend the late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.

Cruz is now pursuing legislation to prevent “jawboning” — government coercion by speech. The new law, still in the works, opens up thorny legal questions but also goes at a brewing debate on the right about the use of government power to silence critics.
