DOJ antitrust probe into ABC CBS CNN NBC Fox News
by HOMERED: Donald Trump
the Antitrust Division is looking into whether ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox News broke federal antitrust law, and it all traces back to a joint decision those five made about their shared TV coverage of President Trump a DOJ spokeswoman told the New York Times that the television press pool has proudly boycotted White House events, and she noted that group boycotts among commercial competitors can violate the Sherman Act her follow-up: the Antitrust Division is simply investigating to determine whether these news organizations have violated the antitrust laws the backstory is that the White House blocked CNN from its pool slot in late September, and rather than send someone else in CNN's place, all five networks agreed to stop covering President Trump's movements together, in unison other outlets stepped up with video coverage while the big five sat it out and the boycott did not last long 😅 #DonaldTrump

You should be allowed to come in and write fake stories. They're fake news. And that's why they have no credibility. That's why. So I had 96 percent negative coverage during the election and I won because they have no credibility. I got 96. I guess NBC was 93 percent negative. So 93 with all of the victories I've had. Everything's been a victory. It's all been a victory. And I won the election like nobody's ever seen anything like it. I get no, they never write a good story. They won't write a story about, I just reduced drug prices by 40, 50, 60, 70, 80%. I won't get a good story out of these people. From some of them I will. I'll get one from him. I'll get one from him. I'll get a few of them. But it's sick. I mean, there's something wrong with a country that can allow people to write purposely negative stories. Now, if they want to write them, that's fine. But I don't have to let them into the people's house. Yeah, please.
