TIL Desk/World/Washington/ US President Donald Trump has threatened to take major American news networks off the air over a story about his nuclear policy, accusing them of indulging in spreading “fake news”.
Trump and his aides have repeatedly used the term “fake news” to cast doubt on critical media reports, often without providing evidence that the reports were untrue.
Trump was upset after NBC News reported that he wants a ten-fold increase in the nuclear arsenal. He called the news “made up”.”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!” he said.
“Network news has become so partisan, distorted and fake that licenses must be challenged and, if appropriate, revoked,” Trump said in a tweet last night. The news about him seeking an increase in nuclear arsenal is false, he said. “Not fair to public!” Trump said, referring to the news items in particular carried by news networks which he alleges are not correct.
