trump thinks NBC & Saturday Night Live should be 'tested in courts, can't be legal'



A REAL scandal is the one sided coverage, hour by hour, of networks like NBC & Democrat spin machines like Saturday Night Live. It is all nothing less than unfair news coverage and Dem commercials. Should be tested in courts, can’t be legal? Only defame & belittle! Collusion?

Fox News IS the evil that created all this scam. Lock em up!!! Alex Jones and Rusty Limp⚽️🏐🏀🏉🏈⚾️🎱🎾 should share a very small cell as well. 24/7 Saturday Night Live should be streamed in every venue that Spews Fox to Unwilling viewers.

...Saturday Night Live? News?.. He is "nuts."

So, here is the proof he is nuts. He lost it and spends his time talking about SNL? On a Sunday morning?
...Is that all he has to do?.. Hold his morning show of tweets, with no questions answered. Just his show.

....................Yes, "the show"... that shows he is nuts..

Has he ever attended a regular Sunday Service at ANY church since he hijacked the office of POTUS? Funerals don’t count.

Has his church sent him a reminder that they miss him?? They do keep track of who is coming regularly and who is being a slacker. Think he fits in the slacker category.

Yeah, a doctrine. That's it. One that ensured even coverage of opposing viewpoints. Fairness in coverage, you might say. You could call it the "Fairness Doctrine."
