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.

    When things are hidden it is hard to develop an epic shitstorm. I didn't like Obama pretty early into his terms, but I only knew about some of the most minor infractions apparently. Even now people are pissed, but there is no process for citizens to get redress. Contacting congressman is a joke, protesting seems to do nothing, occupy was subverted and the media did a great job of marginalizing them. False flag shit by the 3 letters, abuses of power for anyone who becomes too much of a problem.

    Gee, I wonder why nothing happens!? Oh yeah, the standing rock bit, that was some clear examples of media and law enforcement marginalizing people. It was almost amusing to see how hard they had to try to find flaws to make the protesters look bad.

    Did you post stories about Obama's negative shit? Did a bunch of liberal types defend his bad actions? Is there some reason Obama's shitty terms are relevant to Trump's ridiculously worse kickoff? No, you just want to equivocate so your team doesn't seem so bad. Sorry, but it is that bad, and no amount of bullshit from a Democrat will change that.
