And I had to go through this during the election. I think it's a miracle that I can win, when 97 percent of the stories on the networks are bad. That's no longer free"
"Tonight, President Trump says overly negative coverage of him is illegal, as he is ousting a prosecutor that he picked who declined to indict one of his political opponents without enough evidence. I'm Kaitlan Collins. And this is THE SOURCE. Tonight, President Trump is no longer just suggesting that some TV networks should have their licenses revoked. He now seems to be clearly saying that he the coverage that he deems to be too negative is illegal."
President Donald Trump said during an Oval Office photo op that overwhelmingly negative television coverage is effectively illegal and no longer constitutes free speech, citing that 94–97% of stories were bad and calling such coverage "cheating." He suggested that networks using public airwaves should not be allowed to provide what he deems excessively negative coverage and referenced his own election struggles with media narratives. The comments coincided with the ousting of a prosecutor he had appointed. A cable news broadcast rebutted the claim by invoking First Amendment clauses that protect free speech and media expression, noting government cannot deem critical coverage illegal.
