特朗普总统对第一修正案的持续攻击本周达到新高度。根据ABC的法律顾问称，该网络的新闻部门一直在调整其编辑决策，尤其是选举报道，以免遭到报复。“我们把头放在断头台上，”代表ABC的律师贝丝·威尔金森周二对法官说。“我们正在审视我们所做的一切。”
President Donald Trump ’s sustained assault on the First Amendment reached a new level this week . According to ABC’s legal counsel, the network’s news division has been tempering its editorial decisions , particularly its election coverage, for fear of retribution. “We sit with our head on the guillotine,” Beth Wilkinson, an attorney representing ABC, told a judge Tuesday . “We are watching everything we do.”
美国最著名的新闻机构之一——恰好也是世界上最强大的公司之一华特迪士尼公司的所有者——正在公开法庭上表示，总统及其政府的霸凌行为正在冻结其报道政府的能力。
One of America’s most prominent news organizations — which also happens to be owned by one of the most powerful corporations in the world, The Walt Disney Company — is saying in open court that the president and his administration’s bullying is chilling its ability to report on the government.
这就是审查制度，毫无疑问。就像特朗普长期以来提交虚假诽谤诉讼的历史一样，政府不必在法庭上获胜，其目标就会因恐惧而屈服。正如特朗普在2016年对《华盛顿邮报》所说，在他众多反言论自由诉讼被驳回之后：“我花了几美元的律师费，而他们花了很多更多。我这样做是为了让他的生活痛苦不堪，我很高兴。”如今，特朗普不再需要花一分钱来封杀他不喜欢的言论——当美国纳税人正在为他做这件事时。
This is censorship, period. And much like Trump’s long history of filing bogus defamation lawsuits , the administration doesn’t have to win in court for its targets to be cowed into submission. As Trump told The Washington Post in 2016 after one of his many anti-free speech suits was tossed, “I spent a couple of bucks on legal fees, and they spent a whole lot more. I did it to make his life miserable, which I’m happy about.”These days, Trump no longer needs to spend a dime to muzzle speech he doesn’t like — not when he has the American taxpayers doing it for him.
特朗普审查产业复合体是非常真实的。它正在媒体、学术界和日常生活中寒蝉言论。
The Trump Censorship Industrial Complex is very real. It is chilling speech in the media, academia and everyday life.
亲MAGA的记者们——其中一人如今担任CBS新闻的负责人——曾声称存在一个庞大的“审查产业复合体”，当然，那是由民主党独家运营的。2022年，他们将埃隆·马斯克的无意义“推特文件”包装成世纪言论自由丑闻。事实上，这是一场由政治动机推理和伪新闻主义懒惰驱动的假争议，而他们中从未有人有正直去承认他们是被世界上最富有的人牵着鼻子走的，或者他们完全把故事说错了。
MAGA-adjacent journalists, one of whom now runs CBS News , have claimed there was a vast “censorship industrial complex” — run exclusively by Democrats, of course. In 2022, they peddled Elon Musk’s nothingburger “Twitter Files” as the free speech scandal of the century . It was, in fact, a fake controversy driven by politically motivated reasoning and faux-journalistic laziness , and none of them ever had the integrity to admit they were led by the nose by the world’s richest man or that they got the story completely wrong .
特朗普审查工业复合体确实存在。它正在媒体、学术界和日常生活中寒蝉言论。
But the Trump Censorship Industrial Complex is very real. It is chilling speech in the media, academia and everyday life.
“在过去两年里，针对ABC的威胁一直在升级，”威尔金森周二在法庭上表示。她补充说，总统“掌握着广泛的监管权力，并且愿意用这些权力对付他不喜欢的人”，并且“他已经任命了一位FCC主席，这位主席完全理解他的指令，并且毫不掩饰地表达出来。这些都是对美国宪法的公然违反。”
“Over the last two years, there’s been escalating threats against ABC,” Wilkinson said in court Tuesday . She added that the president “has control over vast regulatory powers that he’s willing to use against those he does not like” and “has put in place a chairman at the FCC who understands his marching orders and is not shy about saying so. These are blatant violations of the U.S. Constitution.”
备受质疑的联邦通信委员会主席布伦丹·卡尔确实一直是特朗普最得意的攻击工具。他是一个极端党派的黑客和伪君子，公然利用政府权力恐吓广播公司及其母公司屈服，同时荒唐地自称“言论自由战士”。他对ABC深夜喜剧节目和女性主持的白天脱口秀节目的卑劣攻击，如今已经达到了他一直意图达到的目标：该公司资源丰富的新闻机构，该机构经常调查这一公然腐败且规避法律的政府。
Brendan Carr , the Federal Communications Commission chair in question, has indeed been Trump’s most gleeful attack poodle . He is a hyperpartisan hack and hypocrite, brazenly wielding the power of government to intimidate broadcasters and their parent companies into submission, all while preposterously claiming to be a “ free speech warrior .”And his petty attacks on ABC’s late-night comedians and female-led daytime talk shows have now reached what was always the likely intended target: the company’s well-resourced news organization, which regularly investigates this flagrantly corrupt and law-skirting administration.

2026年3月30日 / 07:49特朗普政府的幼稚欺凌行为已经导致美联社因拒绝将墨西哥湾称为“美洲湾”而被限制进入白宫超过一年。而且这些努力如今已经蔓延到被MAGA共和党主导的州，比如阿拉巴马州，该州通过了一项新法律，要求“所有州和地方实体及其员工”将该水域称为“美洲湾”。这意味着公立学校、学院甚至该州的NPR附属机构都必须遵守特朗普尴尬的爱国美德表演。
The Trump administration’s juvenile bullying has already restricted The Associated Press’ White House access for more than a year over its refusal to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. And those efforts have now bled over into MAGA Republican-dominated states, like Alabama, where a new law requires “all state and local entities and their employees” to refer to the body of water as the Gulf of America. That means public schools, colleges and even the state’s NPR affiliate have to abide by Trump’s embarrassing attempt at patriotic virtue signaling.
卡尔对广播公司的执照进行威胁，因为他们准确报道了特朗普对伊朗愚蠢且失败的战争。政府仍在与MS NOW、CNN和《政治》进行法律斗争，因为它荒唐地声称对这三家新闻机构的禁令是国家安全问题。政府还动用其秘密警察力量针对私人公民，这些公民在社交媒体上发帖批评移民和海关执法局对移民的残酷镇压——以及被其无序拦网行动卷入的美国公民。
Carr has threatened broadcasters’ licenses for reporting accurately on Trump’s asinine and failing war on Iran. The administration is still in a legal battle with MS NOW, CNN and Politico, as it preposterously claims its ban on the three news organizations is a national security issue. And the administration has been siccing its secret police force on private citizens who’ve written social media posts criticizing Immigrations and Customs Enforcement’s brutal crackdown on immigrants — and U.S. citizens caught in their lawless dragnets .
埃隆·马斯克的忠实追随者和特朗普友好的评论作家可能仍然坚持认为存在由乔·拜登领导的“审查产业复合体”，但本文所列举的言论自由攻击正在实际发生。而且，随着特朗普顺从的天空舞老板大卫·埃利森现在同时拥有CNN和CBS，特朗普对ABC及其他新闻机构的违宪攻击的潜在后果日益严重。
Elon Musk’s devotees and Trump-friendly opinion writers might still cling to the fiction that there was a Joe Biden-led “censorship industrial complex,” but the assaults on free speech enumerated in this column are actually happening. And with the Trump-compliant Skydance boss David Ellison now in ownership of CNN as well as CBS , the potential consequences of Trump’s unconstitutional attacks on ABC and other news organizations are increasingly grave.
特朗普审查产业复合体是真实存在的，它对民主构成威胁。揭露它，抵抗它，（这是对企业老板说的）不要自愿把你的午餐钱交给校园里的欺凌者。他只会回来索取更多。
The Trump Censorship Industrial Complex is real and it is a threat to democracy. Call it out, resist it and (this is for the corporate bosses) do not willingly hand over your lunch money to the schoolyard bully. He’ll only come back for more .
