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.

Citation needed. Because there isn't one and we both know it. False Equivalence Fallacy -will- be called out.
Because they don't need one, idiot. Try to keep up with the discussion. Fox News Channel is a cable channel, not a broadcaster. With a couple of rare exceptions where FNC provides material to broadcast on the FOX network such as Fox News Sunday and coverage of the political debates.
BLM and Antifa are violent, it is the basic nature of them. Their events don't accidentally become violent, they are planned as violent riots. Pretending they are something they aren't doesn't change reality.

You probably missed elsewhere here where I had pointed out that NBC doesn't have a license.
The lower I set my standards the more accomplishments I have.

Yes but you are an idiot so I ignored that. The networks do own affiliates, ever noticed KNBC and WNBC? They aren't the only directly owned NBC stations, there used to be regulatory limits on how many stations a single entity could own which mandated the affiliate model but as the limits have been relaxed over the decades they have expanded direct ownership.
But I mostly ignored you because that is a distraction anyway; the idea has always been to force affiliates into long protracted station licensing battles they wouldn't have the legal resources for so they would simply do what the NGOs and their hordes of activists and lawyers wanted. All they needed was to get the FCC regs reset to make it easier to wage that lawfare than it was to defend against it. Talk radio stations are almost all tiny low power affairs operating on the dregs of the ad market already because of the constant organized boycotts.
