Donald Trump over the last few days has issued tweets that threatened to suspend the broadcast licenses of America's major broadcast networks. What he's done has threatened the constitutional rights of the networks and a free press.
Mr Trump tweeted on Wednesday morning: "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!"
"It is frankly disgusting the way the press is able to write whatever they want to write, and people should look into it," he said at the White House.

Trump’s assertion that @NBC’s license could be challenged emboldens other gov'ts to embrace authoritarian tendencies twitter.com/realDonaldTrum…
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!

America's major broadcast networks do not hold broadcast licenses
