President Donald Trump, in a new Truth Social rant, bashed a report of a new plan by the Federal Communications Commission that would allow alleged anti-Trump television networks to merge
Newsmax reported on Sunday that FCC Chair Brendan Carr, a staunch Trump ally, is “pushing through a mega-merger of the anti-Trump group Nextstar.” Nexstar owns several local NBC, ABC, and CBS affiliate stations nationwide.
The company is currently in the process of acquiring TEGNA for roughly $6.2 billion, a move that would put Nexstar above the “network ownership cap,” a federal law from the Reagan administration that prohibits TV stations from reaching more than 39% of U.S. households.
“If this would also allow the Radical Left Networks to ‘enlarge,’ I would not be happy,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “ABC & NBC, in particular, are a disaster – A VIRTUAL ARM OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. They should be viewed as an illegal campaign to the Radical Left. NO EXPANSION OF THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS. If anything, make them SMALLER.”
