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.

    You need to read something about organizations. Here: The Tyranny of Stuctureless [jofreeman.com].

    When the "society" decides who is a child molester and who needs to be ostracised, there always forms a cabal dedicated to declaring its enemies as child molesters and manipulating others into agreeing with themselves. The purpose of government is to make sure this cabal can be recognized. This holds true even for primitive systems with a local leader and its henchmen to kings and kingdoms to democracy. Instead of dedicating all mental energy into doing politics, society decides proactively gives the power to the cabal so rest of the people can mind their own business. I mean literally - it is related to economics.

    In a poor society fighting off natural calamities and lack of rain, people didn't have time to worry about the neighbour and his/her infatuation with children. All the talk about lack of governance relies on a utopian economical system where people actually have time to coordinate and strive to make fair judgements.
