Trump threatens to revoke licenses of several media outlets after they refuse to broadcast his speech live
The conflict between Donald Trump’s administration and American media intensified after major television networks took different approaches regarding the live broadcast of the President’s Thursday night speech from the White House
In this speech, Trump once again repeated his unproven claims about fraud in the 2020 presidential election and foreign interference in it
ABC and NBC networks refused to broadcast the speech live on their main channels and only streamed it through their digital platforms. CBS aired part of the speech and then cut away for fact-checking, while Fox News broadcast the speech in full
In response, Trump threatened to revoke the broadcast licenses of ABC and NBC networks, claiming that these media outlets are part of a conspiracy and described their actions as fraud
