There is no context needed in Trump's threats to "challenge the licenses" of NBC and CNN. For a sitting President to do that was just plain stupid. Many times I think Trump gets a pass for saying stupid things, because he says them with such regularity.

Did you know that the FCC can take the license of on station who knowingly put out false information. They couldn't touch CNN but they could have taken the local channel that ran stories that are proven false. It's up to the elected beauracrats that run the FCC on whether to enforce that rule they put in the 90s I think. Leaning when DJT asked if they should have their license challenged he was referring to this rule. Which isn't stopping their freedom of speech, it punishment for knowingly giving out false info.

I will have to go back, pull the full transcripts and look at the context. We know the ones you mentioned were involved in character assassination with false stories.

Just this past January, Trump said that CNN and NBC should have their licenses "taken away" just because they didn't cover his acceptance speech in the Iowa Caucuses.

Trump Wants CNN, NBC “Licenses” to Be Revoked for Not Airing Iowa Victory Speech

Cable networks, even those that report on political news, don’t need licenses to operate.

Trump wasn't kidding. He doubled down on it. CNN doesn't need a license to operate. They are not under the purview of the FCC. Trump should not get a pass for being ignorant, however. You wouldn't give Biden a pass for such a blatant display of ignorance. In fact, you would probably say it was another sign of his dementia.

How about for simply not airing his acceptance speech live after the Iowa Caucuses in January?

Yep.

And let us not forget. Tulsi and RFK endorsed Trump because they are selfishly seeking a job. They are cowards.

Liz is endorsing Kamala out of the abundance of love she has for America and our democracy.

Man I love false narratives!

Doesn't seem to be an issue for the FCC...but his reference could have been to all of the stuff prior that was false.

No .... Trump was just mad that they didn't air his acceptance speech live, and so he pitched a fit, and said some really stupid things. That's what Trump does. He is petty and childish.
