Broadening his assault on the first amendment.

Donald Trump once again called for an FCC investigation of a television network over their news coverage, this time over MSNBC’s continued employment of
Al Sharpton.
On Truth Social, Trump wrote, “I knew Al Sharpton for many years, not that it matters, but he was a major ‘TRUMP’ fan. He’d ask me to go to his fake Rallies all the time, because I brought BIG Crowds, and he couldn’t get anybody to come without me. Then he did the Tawana Brawley Hoax, one of the worst Low Level Scams in History, and that set him back, BIG TIME! Then he got to know Brian Roberts, Chairman of Fake News NBC, who gave him what would become one of the Lowest Rated Shows in Television History. Roberts is afraid to take him off because it wouldn’t be ‘Politically Correct.’ This is just one of the many reasons that the Federal Communications Commission should look into the license of NBC, which shows almost exclusively positive Democrat content. Likewise, ABC Fake News — About the same thing, 97% negative to Republicans!”
The FCC licenses broadcast stations, not networks, and has limited oversight over MSNBC because it is a cable network.
But Trump has a history of calling for networks to be investigated over their news coverage, even though it is protected by the First Amendment.
