President Trump repeats his call for investigation into 'Saturday Night Live'
NY Daily News ^ | 02/17/209 | Brian Niemietz

It’s another emergency for Donald Trump.

The President has once again called for the NBC sketch comedy show “Saturday Night Live" to be investigated for making fun of him.

“Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC!” the President tweeted early Sunday morning. “Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? Likewise for many other shows? Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion!”

Fewer than nine hours prior to the President’s outburst, “SNL” opened their weekly show with actor Alec Baldwin mocking a rambling Friday press conference in which Trump declared, among other things, that the need for a wall on America’s southern border is an “emergency” despite statistics from his own administration that appear to contradict his claim.

He said it “should be looked into.”

Perhaps it’s time to pull some FCC broadcast licenses. If they’re going to be partisan political organizations, they should be legally recognized as such.

The networks don’t have broadcast licenses. It’s the local affiliates who have licenses, and if you want to see a firestorm, start yanking licenses of local stations because the president thinks they’re unfairly making fun of him.

NPR and PBS are Propoganda wings of the DemonicRat party, and our tax dollars are supporting them, the same way that our tax dollars are supporting Planned Parenthood abortions.

“Congress shall make no law ...” doesn’t need an examination of intent. The Media are also not a monopoly. The president needs a thicker skin.

I agree. He needs to stop complaining about people mocking him. It doesn’t help him when he appears hysterical.

The media is a monopoly controlled by only six major corporations and absolutely should be either broken up, or preferably regulations loosened to allow competition. They take advantage of strict FCC regulations that restrict channels and limit competitors from broadcasting.

Actual broadcasting over the airwaves is a dying platform, and the diversity of new players in the media delivery business —Netflix, Amazon, etc.—show that it’s a competitive field.

People who abuse the definitions of words also tend to insist that Amazon.com is a monopoly. It seems the first thing to do in a debate is define our terms. That way, we’re not talking past each other so much.

That would be an Oligopoly not a monopoly. There is a big difference. Furthermore both Oligopolies and Monopolies are very legal entities. It’s only when they use their strength to abuse their powers by price fixing or disallowing entry to the market do they cross the legal lines. Neither of which is being done by the media. It is an open market

Alec Baldwin is a parody of his own self-inflated ego and out-of-control liberal rage—the kind that blames everyone else for his own character flaws and the troubles they cause him. And this is why Hollywood identifies with him so well.

Oh. And he is not funny. Hate disguised as comedy is not funny.

I agree.

The best way to deal with SNL is to totally ignore this failing, low ratings show.

Alec Baldwin is a germ on the mites on a zit on Hillary Clinton’s disgusting fat @ss.

“I know you are right but we will be in gulags or dead soon if the communists take over.”

You have the correct take. The left are AT WAR with America and they’re on the march—completely lawless. I’m hoping against hope that PDJT figures that out before it’s too late.

Point conceded but I don't think he was referring to just SNL . He was trying to make a point how all the networks constantly insult Trump supporters. He did not use the best wording but in wake of the Kapernick law suit, Russian hoax and the fraud late night comedy hosts why not point out a rather obvious double standard.

Tweet the issues people care about, Mr. Trump. If we have to tell you what they are — and SNL’s ridicule is not one of them — you’re in a heap of trouble.

For some reason AOC invokes recollections of the bug-eyed Sleestaks from “Land of the Lost.”

As bad as the mainstream media is, the government should not control them. As President, he should be above it.

This stuff reduces the credibility of his tweets.

And he should be savvy enough to know that focusing attention on SNL will help them.

Flame away...

Mr President please keep tweeting. You are driving the leftist scum to distraction and your real base (not the never trumpers here and elsewhere) just love it. You will be swept into your second term in a landslide. (PS those states who are passing new laws that make the nationals popular vote the direction their electoral vote must go will $h!t a brick when forced to go against their own state leftist voting block and be forced to vote for Trump)

God bless what you are doing.
