This is a direct attack on the press, once again. 

And the 1st amendment. Too bad people like him only care about it when it’s used to offend and discriminate.

I predicted this months ago, he is going to come for networks, the internet, etc. He wants America to be the new North Korea.

Atacking and undermining the media is a threat to democracy.

Fact resistance and talk about "fake news" is *extremely* dangerous. 

*falls off soapbox*

In the past I've often heard Americans talking about how the Fox News channel was banned in Canada because it reports misleading and false information... and acting as if that was a sensible thing for Canada to do.

Yet when their own president talks of challenging the licenses of outlets that report fake news, they say it's "fascism".
