Details
The head of the White House sharply criticized ABC and NBC channels on social media, calling them the "media arm of the Democratic Party," and called not only to block their expansion but also to limit the scope of their work.
If this also allows the radically left TV channels to "expand," I will be very unhappy. Especially ABC and NBC – this is a disaster, in fact, the VIRTUAL ARM of the Democratic Party
– Trump wrote.
"They should be treated as an illegal campaign of the radical left. NO EXPANSION OF FAKE NEWS NETWORKS. If anything, only reduce them!" – reads the American leader's post.
It is noted that his comments came amid reports of possible approval by the US Federal Communications Commission of the expansion of TV network coverage and the merger of Nexstar Media Group and Tegna Inc.
Such statements by Trump also come in the context of the potential sale of Warner Bros. Discovery, which is facing difficulties due to falling interest in traditional television and the active transition of viewers to streaming services.
