Trump threatens to target licenses of 'NBC and the Networks' after nuclear arsenal report
Fox News ^ | 10/11/17 | Brooke Singman

President Trump openly threatened Wednesday to go after the licenses of NBC News and the "Networks," as he ratcheted up his complaints about "Fake News."

“With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country!” Trump tweeted.

This was after he challenged the accuracy of an NBC News report that said he sought a “nearly tenfold increase” in the nuclear arsenal during a summer meeting.

“Fake @NBCNews made up a story that I wanted a ‘tenfold’ increase in our U.S. nuclear arsenal. Pure fiction, made up to demean. NBC=CNN!” Trump tweeted Wednesday.

They are licensed enemies inside the wire. Until they are recognized for what they are, they will continue to try and destroy America and American values. Is anyone puzzled by why antifa does not target these enemies?

YES!!!! Go for it, President Trump. This country CANNOT begin to dig out of the mess it’s in until the anti-American propaganda outlets known as the media are stopped from spouting their destructive propaganda and lies 24/7.

Let the media, leftists and worthless politicians whine all they WANT.

Worse is the U.S. taxpayers subsidy of the Leftist NPR. That lousy bunch should have been off the dole decades ago. We shouldn’t pay for Democrat propaganda.

Just a question... Could knowingly broadcasting false information which could be detrimental to the effectiveness of a government body under a federally issued broadcast licence be considered treason?

Again... JUST a question...

I believe Trump would be more effective if competition were returned to the media market place by repealing the legislation that requires cable subscribers to subsidize channels that they do not watch.

Many channels would fail if they didn’t receive payments from cable providers whose subscribes cannot choose the channels they subscribe to but must choose and subsidize a long list of channels with their monthly fees.

Let each channel fail or survive on its own merits including PBS.

Tidbit of information:

NPR was started with funds from the Fulbright Foundation. Fulbright’s sister was Gloria Swanson of Swanson foods. Gloria Swanson’s grandson is Tucker Carlson.

Cable and TV watchers could in essence effectively “take a knee” and protest programming that they object to by not watching it. End cable company subsidies.

I’m beginning to wonder if treason exists. As much of it seems to be around these days, and nothing ever seems to happen to counter it.

LOL!

He surely doesn't want the MSM to turn on him and stop the roses and accolades they are currently throwing his way. LOL! ;)

In the meantime, the 62 million voters for Trump can boycott the fake news from ABCNNBCBS!

Don’t watch their fake news and never give them an internet click.

Donate monthly to Free Republic and $crew the fake news industry. Do the same to the fake news industry as we are hammering the NFL/ESPN thugs and their masters who own them.

Comcast is an American enemy and greater threat to the Republic than Al Qaeda
