Fresh off his thorough victory over CBS News, President Trump is taking aim at ABC and NBC.
“Why is it that ABC and NBC FAKE NEWS, two of the absolute worst and most biased networks anywhere in the World, aren’t paying Millions of Dollars a year in LICENSE FEES,” Trump wrote on Truth Social last night. “They should lose their Licenses for their unfair coverage of Republicans and/or Conservatives, but at a minimum, they should pay up BIG for having the privilege of using the most valuable airwaves anywhere at anytime!!! Crooked ‘journalism’ should not be rewarded, it should be terminated!!!”
While Trump’s many threats to revoke broadcaster licenses have never led to any actual license revocations, the CBS developments show how he can use the government to influence operations at news organizations. CBS owner Paramount recently inked a $16 million settlement with Trump and then agreed to install a “bias monitor” in order to gain Federal Communications Commission approval of an $8 billion merger with Skydance. Now Trump is turning his attention to ABC and NBC…
Now that CBS is owned by the second richest man in the world, a guy who is a more devoted MAGA Nazi than Musk, we can expect that CBS, who used to be the gold standard of broadcast news, will become just another reliable mouthpiece for the Conservative Propaganda Machine.
Conservatives did the same thing to National Geographic Magazine, probably the finest consumer magazine ever published, dedicated to science, geography, astronomy, space travel, biology, etc.
Then Fox bought them, and now every other issue has a cover story about the Bible.
They won’t quit until all three broadcast networks have been compromised by MAGA.
Conservatives ruin everything.
