President Trump has been creating a storm since entering the White House. He has made a barrage of threats to various organizations and even Countries.
Most recent is the threat to pull NBC News license. The President is angry that the News agency is publishing news he considers fake.
NBC News reported that the President asked for an increase in nukes. The report apparently shocked Military personnel.
Trump’s response was swift. He responded to the report by giving his own statement on twitter.
He tweeted “with all of the Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks, at what point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for country!”

Fake News
The branding of fake news is an increasing concern. Most media outlets find themselves in a bind because of it.
It is very impossible to always get all of the facts right. Most reports are usually from many different sources.
Sometimes the sources may get it wrong sometimes they get it right. But the biggest issue is when a report is falsely made. These reports are intended to make a person or brand look bad.
It is an issue that comes with the territory. Most of the news that is usually broadcasted is either true or false. There is no middle ground when it comes to the media.
