US President Donald Trump berated NBC and ABC as “two of the worst and most biased networks in history,” adding he’d support the FCC in revoking licenses to their television stations.

The networks “give me 97% BAD STORIES,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Sunday, “despite a very high popularity and, according to many, among the greatest 8 months in Presidential History.”

“IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEY ARE SIMPLY AN ARM OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND SHOULD, ACCORDING TO MANY, HAVE THEIR LICENSES REVOKED BY THE FCC,” he added. “I would be totally in favor of that because they are so biased and untruthful, an actual threat to our Democracy!!!”

The FCC issues licenses to owners of television stations, which must be periodically renewed.

1. I thin it's because 97% of the time you do stupd bad things. It's news coverage,

not suck fat asses tiny di*k coverage.

[Buddyzbuddy]

2. Didn't text's just come out from "judge" Pirro while at

FOX "news" as a result of a lawsuit showing that she admitted that she helped the Felon in regards to favorable reporting that would help him with elections?

[BidenRocks]

3. Hey Republicans!

You own this!

Do you have one spine among you?

[travelingthrulife]

17. It is astonishing that none of them have spines.

[Grokenstein]

4. He keeps saying "ACCORDING TO MANY."

I guess the voices in his head are breeding like rodents.

Or maybe they're just rodents.

[Skittles]

7. they must be the people with the SIR stories

you know, the ones with tears in their eyes as they tell Trump how great he is

[Hornedfrog2000]

5. The news should point out

This is exactly how putin came to power. First thing he went after was the news networks.

[thesquanderer]

12. Heck, Putin probably gave him the idea. (n/t)

[Cha]

8. Fuck that Fucking Sociopathic Fascist LIAR!

MF

[Cha]

9. And Putin Assassinates those who Dissent with

the Truth.

[no_hypocrisy]

10. Translated: One down (CBS),

two to go . . . . .

[BaronChocula]

11. This'll work to a large extent

Networks fall back on the excuse of "need for access to White House sources" in exchange for their fealty.

[Paladin]

16. That's not much of an excuse, anymore.

Given the gutless, trump-enabling nature of the national media in general---and what passes for the White House Press Corps, in particular. Bunch of chickenshit motherfuckers.

[BaronChocula]

22. It's the WORST excuse

What good is access if you aren't smart enough to push back on a constant stream of republican lies?

[travelingthrulife]

18. why do they bother? He issues his decrees on Truth Social.

[BaronChocula]

23. Exactly

And with this manure sack in the Oval "keeping them honest" and "asking the tough questions" has gone out the window anyway.

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Shut the fuck up and DO IT, onion skin!

We grow annoyed at your foolishness.

[Wuddles440]

14. Absolute BS!!!

I regularly view content from both networks and their coverage of him/his administration is rarely, if ever, even remotely critical. Hell, on most occasions when reporting on him it almost sounds as if they're spewing the same shit as MAGA Blond Barbie.

[twodogsbarking]

15. They have been too kind to Trump for more than a decade.

Jock straps without balls.

[Miguelito Loveless]

19. I fully expect both networks to buckle

to his demands.

[thought crime]

20. In the US, free press is under siege.

Every day, Trump tightens the noose. He is attempting to rig elections, suppress legal process, restrict academic freedom, etc. We're watching him dismantle democratic institutions, and we knew this would happen. Everyone knew this would happen. This is what his supporters voted for.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

21. Are your feefees hurt Donny?

[ificandream]

24. If his "logic" could really be applied, the Fox Propaganda Network would be off the air now

But of course, Fox/Rupert love Trump. Two of the most destructive forces in our history .... Fox and Trump.
