"I think these would be positive"

is fine. The problem is the rest of the sentence:

"...and I am the government, and I order you to broadcast my message, and also you can't say these other things I dislike, or I will revoke your ability to operate at all."

It's disappointing to see this point missed: this isn't a random person sharing their opinion, it is both government-mandated speech and literal censorship.

Did you read the text? It _does not_ order such broadcasting, your quote is made-up. Here's the closest quote I find:

> Chairman Brendan Carr issued the following statement: ... "I am inviting broadcasters to pledge to air programming in their local markets in support of this historic national, non-partisan celebration."
