Donald Trump has threatened to shut down NBC and other American networks, saying that they peddle fake news.

"With all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country!" Mr Trump wrote in a tweet.

Mr Trump's tweet came in response to a story written by NBC, which said that Mr Trump had sought to increase America's nuclear arsenal tenfold after taking a look at a briefing slide that showed stead reduction of the US nuclear arsenal since the 1960s. The story cited three officials who were reportedly in the room when Mr Trump made the comments.

"Fake @NBCNews made up a story that I wanted a 'tenfold' increase in our US nuclear arsenal," Mr Trump had tweeted before his threat. "Pure fiction, mad eup to demean. NBC = CNN!"

The President has regularly targeted news networks critical of him since January, when he gave a press conference as President-elect and shouted down a CNN reporter as "fake news". The term - which Mr Trump says he invented but had been used frequently before to describe the proliferation of stories written by anonymous bloggers to spread lies during the 2016 election - has since become one of his go-to insults when the media publishes critical coverage of the Trump administration.

Lol can you imagine the rage if Obama would have came out screaming to shut down FNC?

If anything, this illustrates that the FCC has way to much power.

OTA networks don't actually have freedom of the press, because the FCC "owns" the air somehow.

The fun never ends with this guy.

What happened to "we need Trump because we're tired of safe space seeking PC SJWs trying to censor everything!"....He's the one trying to censor unfavorable press in hopes of making the entire country his personal safe space....but the the morons attached to his nuts won't call him out for that...a student at Berkeley trying to stop hate speech on campus, they'll attack like there's no tomorrow...a US President threatening to shut down anyone who rightfully says his admin is a fuckin joke...they'll probably praise him for it.

The sensible righties know it's firehosing that will lead to nothing. It's just to appease the ignorant masses, which is the real sin here.
