WASHINGTON ¨C President Donald Trump suggested challenging licenses for NBC and other broadcast news networks on Wednesday, a salvo that followed reports his own secretary of state had called him a ¡°moron¡± after a discussion of the U.S. nuclear arsenal.
¡°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!¡± Trump, a Republican, wrote in a post on Twitter.
Trump and his supporters have repeatedly used the term ¡°fake news¡± to cast doubt on critical media reports about his administration, often without providing any evidence to support their case that the reports were untrue.
