Politico reports:
President Donald Trump lashed out once again Friday morning at NBC News, blaming it and other outlets for disseminating what he labeled “fake news” that he claimed the public is learning to recognize.
“Sadly, they and others are Fake News, and the public is just beginning to figure it out!” Trump wrote Friday morning, linking to a post from former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, who wrote on his own Twitter account that “the President will not be able to impact licenses, but he is doing major damage to the @nbc brand.”
Trump suggested the network’s broadcast license be challenged, a threat that would be difficult if not impossible to follow through on because NBC affiliates, not NBC itself, own the majority of the relevant broadcast licenses.
The President will not be able to impact licenses, but he is doing major damage to the @NBC brand.

A free press is vital to protecting all Americans. A corrupt press damages the Republic.
