"Former President Trump is coming under intense criticism for a social media post late Sunday in which he threatened to investigate Comcast, the parent company of NBCUniversal, NBC News and MSNBC, over the outlet’s coverage of him should he be elected president again. “They are almost all dishonest and corrupt, but Comcast, with its one-side and vicious coverage by NBC NEWS, and in particular MSNBC, often and correctly referred to as MSDNC (Democrat National Committee!), should be investigated for its ‘Country Threatening Treason,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social website.
NBC has not commented on Trump’s threat, but his remarks have sparked a wave of backlash in media and political circles. Other observers noted Monday what they say is a lack of outrage on the political right in response to Trump’s threat to scrutinize coverage of an independent media organization. "Of course, Glenn Greenwald and all the [right-wingers] who complain about Democrats’ lack of respect for free speech said nothing yesterday about Trump calling for investigations of TV networks and threatening to pull NBC’s broadcast license because of their speech,” the journalist and author James Surowiecki wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter."
Why can't a president shut down a media company and have them charged and executed for treason? Aren't corporations people? If so, then it can be charged for treason and everyone who played a role in that treason can be executed. If Biden could order the DOJ to attack Fox News by forcing it to be sued by Dominion and pay 800 million dollars; then why can't Trump shut down Comcast?
This isn't even the first time Trump said something like this....he also rightfully called for the criminal investigation of Saturday Night Live; something that should have been done years ago...he wanted to shut down social media platforms if they tried to "fact check" his tweets, he knows the whole "freedom of the press" thing in the Constitution is a scam and should be done away with. So again, why can't the president shut down media companies? And by president, I mean Trump obviously....if Biden tried to do this, clearly that would be wrong.
