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.

Mr President please enforce the laws. What we have is an MSM monopoly of which ownership needs to be diversified to bring in line with constitutional intent for the freedom of the press. Anti Trust Laws prohibit the creation of a monopoly and abuse of power. The Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Dept of Justice, state govt's and private parties who are affected may bring actions in the courts to enforce the antitrust laws

Virtually the entire operations of a number of high-profile “news” organizations are essentially undeclared campaign contributions to Democrats.

Is this satire? Conservatives don’t talk about controlling speech. That’s the Collectivists who do that.

That’s not going to happen, Mr. President.
I know they’re annoying as can be.
Just don’t keep watching the show.
Each time you Tweet about SNL, adds another six weeks of keeping Alec Baldwin on the program. In their minds
“The system worked!”

constitutional intent for the freedom of the press.


“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.

No, he needs to let it go. I can well understand how horrible it must be for him and his family - after all, SNL cut its teeth by doing skits about coneheads - it was never about Washington politics. It is a shock to all of us how political comedy has become. And how vicious. Baldwin should be in jail and one day, maybe he will be.

On the other hand, we control political radio. They cannot compete with us during the day.

Maybe a better tweet would be;

“I have instructed my AG Mr. Barr, to investigate why SNA is not funny in the least and to consider action base on false advertising claiming it is funny”

Someone needs to tell him to stop with this pettiness. It also thrills them to know they’ve gotten under his skin to such an extent.

Yes. I agree.

You know if the left wants to destroy the right they unhesitatingly do so.

Lists of sponsors in the hands of that twerp David Hogg instantly pulled out of shows like Laura Ingraham.

Many local stations dropped Michael Savage the “borders” guy from their lineup.

Decades ago boycotts and recently sets of programmed calls to stations inundated Rush stations. He once in a while explains the robocalls and bots doing “opinions” that magnified this for station owners who then panicked, thinking tens of thousands of people were now furious (not a handful of programmed bots multiplying emails or calls).

Tucker Carlson just lost sponsors a few months ago.

We should not let propaganda services be seen as media journalism outlets. They are not.
