Trump says Harris debate was 'rigged,' ABC should lose license, but 'we did great'
Donald Trump and Kamala Harris had their first presidential debate on ABC News Tuesday night. The Republican nominee is not leaning toward doing a second one.
You're viewing a single thread.
ABC is a network that doesn't have an FCC license. Each individual local station is an FCC licensee. They're the ones that are responsible for the content they air.
Mostly true. ABC network does own licenses in some markets.
Trump or any other political figure can’t just pull a license for no reason though. FCC is pretty good about that
Trump has repeatedly shown he can and will ignore all the rules restricting him. Furthermore he'd have immunity for official acts. So firing everyone until someone agrees to just pull the licenses of any station named ABC is right up his alley and possible now.
He can't do any of that, as he is not in charge of any of that.
Yeah that's what we thought with the CFPB too.
Hell he can claim ABC is a terrorist organization and then sic the federal government on them. Since he identified them as terrorists dealing with them would be considered an "official act" covered by the immunity ruling...
I don't think he'd go that hard that quick. Last night reminded us that while he can be goaded, he isn't stupid.
Why should Trump be expected to understand how federal agencies work?
