A human rights organization is urging the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to investigate China’s state-owned media for broadcasting fake news in the United States. 
Safeguard Defenders, a Madrid-based nonprofit, submitted a complaint to the U.S. regulator back in 2019 with evidence showing “systematic airing of lies and distortions” by state-run media China Central Television (CCTV) and China Global Television Network (CGTN).
