In a series of furious late-night posts on his social media platform, Donald Trump raged that both ABC and NBC “should lose their Licenses” because of their supposed unfair coverage of him, adding that “they should pay up BIG” for broadcasting on American airwaves.
The latest anti-media tantrum from the president, who recently extracted a $16 million settlement from CBS over a “meritless” lawsuit just weeks before his administration approved a mega-merger involving the network’s parent company, appears to have been sparked by comments made by ABC News commentator Chris Christie – a former Trump ally turned critic.
