Dump threatens freedom of the press

The Biggest Dictator is proceeding like other dictators, now wanting to crack down on the press. He has now suggested removing NBC's FCC license for what he claims is fake news. "The National Association of Broadcasters — the leading trade association for radio and TV — quickly issued a statement condemning Trump’s threat. 'The founders of our nation set as a cornerstone of our democracy the First Amendment, forever enshrining and protecting freedom of the press. It is contrary to this fundamental right for any government official to threaten the revocation of an FCC license simply because of a disagreement with the reporting of a journalist.'”
