A U.S. president sued three news organizations within 18 months and threatened to revoke broadcast licenses of two networks within 24 hours. During an Oval Office question-and-answer session, the president linked a free press to national survival, stating that without a free press 'you don't have a country.' Social posts accused ABC and NBC of producing overwhelmingly negative coverage, labeled them 'FAKE NEWS,' and urged FCC license revocations and license fees. Legal actions produced eight-figure settlements from ABC and CBS. The president characterized the New York court system as corrupt and framed media bias as a threat to democracy.
During a question-and-answer session with reporters from the Oval Office on Monday, the president made the surprising comment as part of a rant about the court system in the state of New York which he called corrupt. You can't have a corrupt court system, Trump said. You can't have that, you have to have borders. And you have to have a free press. Otherwise, you don't have a country.
Despite a very high popularity and, according to many, among the greatest 8 months in Presidential History, ABC & NBC FAKE NEWS, two of the worst and most biased networks in history, give me 97% BAD STORIES, Trump wrote. IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEY ARE SIMPLY AN ARM OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND SHOULD, ACCORDING TO MANY, HAVE THEIR LICENSES REVOKED BY THE FCC.
He added in a subsequent post, Why is it that ABC and NBC FAKE NEWS, two of the absolute worst and most biased networks anywhere in the World, aren't paying Millions of Dollars a year in LICENSE FEES. They should lose their Licenses for their unfair coverage of Republicans and/or Conservatives, but at a minimum, they should pay up BIG for having the privilege of using the most valuable airwaves anywhere at anytime!!! Crooked journalism should not be rewarded, it should be terminated!!!
