What this shows about Trump is that he puts his political faith in the idea that his supporters and some others will not test what he is saying. That works with a lot of people. It like that Lincolnism about fooling some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time. Trump's continued attacks on the news media would be a lot more successful, if he explained how fake news actually works, which is by putting editorial opinion alongside actual news of events. Trouble is most people are unable to separate the two in there own minds, and my guess is the Trump is one of them. That is why he cannot explain himself.

The young turks first appeared on the Algore channel and stayed on air with Al Jazeera America until it went off the air. Youtube was the last place to upload their videos for income.

What a group, they name themselves after these people.

Fake News shouldn't fool the weak minded with their politically driven slant on the News without stating everything they broadcast is bias and opinionated. Sometimes it is really hard to believe they don't employ the writers from The Onion. If NBC or any other so called news source can't follow the guidelines of their licenses they need to lose it. If you require a license to broadcast you do not have freedom of speech and can be taken off the air by the FCC. President Trump is within his Rights to ask if fake news is within their license.

It concerns you that Trump sees no problem in ending a free press???? So why can you POSSIBLY like Trump now? This has to be a deal breaker for every freedom-loving person surely?

If fake news is an issue then Fox should have lost their licence 20 years ago.

Definitely a loose cannon on the deck of the USS America.

I'm frankly surprised he hasn't been assassinated yet.

If they had broken any rules under Obama they would have. You mistake the talking heads with hour long programs with Reporters and Journalists, they are neither. All President Trump asks is fair reporting, not the slobbering devotion shown to Democrats and not the constant venom he receives. The Media will admit proudly that over 90% of their coverage of Trump is negative and they do everything they can to undermine him and the American people.

The media openly lies and spins everything that Trump says and does. This is not news - its propaganda! The media is no longer doing what its charter dictates. That is providing accurate news and info to the public.

Trump can only get his message across through Twitter.

I'm all for a free press but this press is controlled by the deep state and its time for these licenses to be revoked.
