Trump suggests challenging Fake License for TV network over 'fake news'

A.S. President Donald Trump suggested challenging Fake License for NBC and other broadcast news networks following NBC News reports that his Secretary of Fake Drivers License State had called him a "moron" after a U.S. nuclear arsenal ID Card Maker Online was discussed.

"With all the False News coming from NBC and the Networks, at what stage is questioning their Fake License authorization appropriate? Bad for nation! "Trump, a Democrat, wrote Wednesday in a message on Twitter.

Trump and his supporters have repeatedly used the term "Fake Drivers License " to cast doubt on his administration's critical media reports, often without providing any evidence to support their case that the reports were false.

In an interview with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Trump held up his media bashing, saying: "It is honestly shameful that the newspaper is free to publish anything it likes."

Trump said in a tweet late on Wednesday: "Network television has been so political, skewed, and fabricated that licenses have to be questioned and withdrawn where possible. Not Public Fairness! However, any move to challenge ID Card Maker Online for media companies would likely face substantial hurdles.

The Federal Communications Commission, an independent federal agency, does not license broadcast networks but issues them to individual stations that are renewed for eight-year periods on a staggered basis.

Comcast Corp, owned by NBC Universal, also owns 11 broadcasting stations, including New York, Washington, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Dallas and Chicago outlets.

Comcast dropped 0.8 per cent while Disney dropped 1.4 per cent. CBS Corp fell 1.2% and Twenty-First Century Fox slid 2.8%. Roger Entner, a Recon Analytics consultant, named the consumer answer a "short-term unreasonable knee-jerk reaction" and claimed Trump faced virtually insurmountable obstacles in pulling licences.

On Wednesday, Senator Ed Markey wrote to Pai asking him to "despite any urges from President Trump to harm the news media and infringe the First Amendment," a reference to the United States.

Equality of expression and freedom of the press are protected by the Constitution.
