BREAKING Trump Just Threatened To Revoke License To One Of USA's Biggest News Network
President Trump just fired a shot across the media's bow, specifically NBC.
But the message was heard loud and clear by every other media outlet.
First came a report by NBC that Trump wanted a huge tenfold increase in our country's
nuke stockpile.
This morning Trump came out and strongly denied the report in the harshest possible terms.
According to the Hill, he really let them have it as he should – if the story is wrong
they should retract it.
"Fake @NBCNews made up a story that I wanted a 'tenfold' increase in our U.S. nuclear
arsenal.
Pure fiction, made up to demean.
NBC = CNN!" he tweeted.
But that was just to set the table for what came next.
In a shocking tweet Trump threatened to yank their broadcast license if they continued
to report false stories.

"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!"
Now it should be noted that the left takes his tweets way too literally and that Trump
is a master at crafting the narrative the media had all to themselves for so many years.
We do have a free press and we do license our broadcast networks so if Trump is serious
and I doubt he is completely it may fall in the grey area whether or not he can actually
do it.
It is an interesting dilemma should Trump follow through on the threat because technically
to get a broadcast license you do have to adhere to standards.
If a news network goes too far what recourse can Trump take.
The left will say he can do nothing but that is not entirely accurate because the FCC can
revoke the license.
We shall see what happens.
