Donald Trump has threatened to shut down NBC and other American networks, saying that they peddle fake news.

"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!" Mr Trump wrote in a tweet.

Mr Trump's tweet came in response to a story written by NBC, which said that Mr Trump had sought to increase America's nuclear arsenal tenfold after taking a look at a briefing slide that showed stead reduction of the US nuclear arsenal since the 1960s. The story cited three officials who were reportedly in the room when Mr Trump made the comments.

    Oh wait, there isn't any. This is a limited public resource that they shouldn't have gotten in the first place, and they pay us back with fake news that distorts our political process.

    We need an excuse to shut them down in favor of wireless networking and cellular data. This is as good as any.
