Using his Truth Social platform the same way he used to use Twitter, now X, to fire off late night posts that got the MAGA base chomping at the bit and the left clutching its pearls in feigned horror or losing their minds in utter fury, Trump vowed on Sunday night to investigate the media for “threatening treason.”
Particularly, Comcast, the parent company of leftist cable news outlets NBC News and MSNBC, was the target of former President Trump’s Sunday night ire, with the former president alleging that they were “threatening treason” and arguing they are not “entitled to use the very valuable Airwaves of the USA” for free.
Beginning, he jumped straight to the treason remark, saying, “They are almost all dishonest and corrupt, but Comcast, with its one-side and vicious coverage by NBC NEWS, and in particular MSNBC, often and correctly referred to as MSDNC (Democrat National Committee!), should be investigated for its ‘Country Threatening Treason.‘”
He then delved into what he thinks is the worst aspect of their coverage, saying, “Their endless coverage of the now fully debunked SCAM known as Russia, Russia, Russia, and much else, is one big Campaign Contribution to the Radical Left Democrat Party. I say up front, openly, and proudly, that when I WIN the Presidency of the United States, they and others of the LameStream Media will be thoroughly scrutinized for their knowingly dishonest and corrupt coverage of people, things, and events.”
Then he called them the enemy of the people, writing, “Why should NBC, or any other of the corrupt & dishonest media companies, be entitled to use the very valuable Airwaves of the USA, FREE? They are a true threat to Democracy and are, in fact, THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! The Fake News Media should pay a big price for what they have done to our once great Country!”
In another post about the media, Trump sounded off on ABC, saying, “To show everyone how FAKE the News Media is, ABC WORLD NEWS on Sunday Morning, their big News Show, covered every aspect of a Poll on Crooked Joe Biden, except for the biggest and most important FACT, that he was losing to a person known as DONALD J. TRUMP by a staggering 10 Points.”
He added, “They spend millions of dollars on these polls, and then, if the result isn’t what they want it to be, refuse to properly report the results. This is what Fake News is all about, and the public has quickly gotten wise to it. ABC FAKE NEWS SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!!”
Trump also attacked Fox News in a Tuesday afternoon post, saying, “The ABC News/Washington Post Poll originally came out at a 9-point lead for your favorite President, but that was immediately corrected by them, to 10 points. The only Network that didn’t correct it was Fox News, they left it at 9 points. Gee, I wonder why?” That followed another Tuesday afternoon post about Fox News Channel in which he said, “FoxNews was our VOICE, but sadly, that VOICE has developed a serious case of Laryngitis!!!“
