WASHINGTON President Donald Trump said overwhelming negative coverage of him by television networks should be grounds for the Federal Communications Commission to revoke broadcast licenses.

Trump made the suggestion as he defended FCC chairman Brendan Carr for pressuring ABC to pull comedian Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show off the airwaves over comments Kimmel made regarding the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kimmel was suspended indefinitely.

They're 97% against they give me only bad publicity or press," Trump claimed in a Sept. 18 gaggle with reporters aboard Air Force One as he flew back to the United States from the United Kingdom. "I mean, theyre getting a license. I would think maybe their license should be taken away. It will be up to Brendan Carr.

Maybe, just maybe if you weren't such a piece of shit and did something good for once you might get good press.

What he wants the press to do is frightening. No more (I should say even less) freedom of the press under Trump.

It's so plainly obvious what they're doing. They're using this Kirk business to rapidly and forcefully take over and censor the media both social and televised, and attacking their political enemies - and free speech - in the process. If we are at the point that you cannot criticize public figures, either as a private citizen or as a comedian, free speech is as good as dead, and America is truly lost.
There's a time and place for everything... but not now.

Yes because there are plenty of us Americans who voted for Harris and do not support any of Trump's shit. It's insulting to us and with the way he spams it in every Trump topic it's basically trolling.

That depends: are we also counting all the ones who turned traitor because they wanted to keep owning human beings as property?

Can you imagine Donald Trump self-reflecting? I wonder if there has been a single second of his entire life where he has ever sat down and truly took stock of himself and his choices. I literally think his diseased brain doesnt have the ability to do that

It never has. You don't get anywhere in the GOP, let alone become its leader as Trump has, if you have even the tiniest shred of basic fucking humanity.

you'll still see rightwingers and "moderates" (not proclaimed RW out of shame) go "this isn't a first amendment violation it's just the FCC not giving the licenses needed to operate hurrr"

possibly intertwined with the pseudo-libertarian "I don't think they should need licenses because-*virulent brainrot*"
Why not go all in?

Especially considering how he supports it with his apathy and laziness just as much as the people he's deriding.

Guy couldn't be bothered to do anything to support the Harris campaign, despite being shown precisely how several times, because UR is allergic to actually doing anything.

He was given the opportunity and elected to ignore it, which makes him about as useful as an asshole on a asteroid.

Wish I could see Trump in a room surrounded by people that truly hate him without anyone there to back him up. He legitimately might spontaneously combust having to face that without anyone to protect him.

Yeah Trump, they should be talking about how you are uniting the left and right, how you are feeding the homeless, how you are donating to charities, how you are calling for peace, how you are pushing government to help the needy, etc, you know, all those good things you are(n't) doing!

Hmm.... let's play the game that never gets olds.

IMAGINE IF OBAMA SAID IT!!!!!!!!

Let's pretend it's 2013 and because of something Trump said about the sitting President, Obama said Fox News should have their TV license removed. How would that go over?

Godwin himself has noted many distinct similarities to Hitler so you don't need to worry about Godwin's Law for the time being.
