Trump Threatens NBC, ABC Licenses Over News Coverage
“US President Donald Trump berated NBC and ABC as “two of the worst and most biased networks in history,” adding he’d support the FCC in revoking licenses to their television stations.
The networks “give me 97% BAD STORIES,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Sunday, “despite a very high popularity and, according to many, among the greatest 8 months in Presidential History.”
“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. “I would be totally in favor of that because they are so biased and untruthful, an actual threat to our Democracy!!!”
The FCC issues licenses to owners of television stations, which must be periodically renewed.
The comments come after Trump engaged in high-profile legal tussles with major news outlets. He settled a lawsuit against CBS News in July for $16 million shortly before the Federal Communications Commission approved a merger between CBS parent Paramount Global and Skydance Media. Trump also reached a $15 million settlement with ABC over allegations of defamation.”
