"I'm a very strong person for free speech, the president replied. But 97, 94, 95, 96% of the people are against me in the sense of the newscasts are against me. The stories are they said 97% bad. So, they gave me 97, they'll take a great story, and they'll make it bad. See, I think that's really illegal, personally."
"So, I think it's very sad, but I think reporting has to be at least accurate, at least accurate to an extent. Again, when somebody is given, 97% of stories are bad about a person. That's no longer free speech. That's no longer anything. That's just cheating. And they cheat, and they become really members of the Democrat national committee. That's what they are, the networks, in my opinion. They're just offshoots of the Democrat national committee."
President Donald Trump said that beyond a certain point criticism of him on television networks becomes illegal and no longer free speech. He claimed that about 94–97% of newscasts are against him and that networks take a great story and make it bad. He called such reporting cheating and said networks act as offshoots of the Democratic National Committee. He referenced ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! after Kimmel suggested, erroneously, that Charlie Kirk’s assassin was a conservative. He warned that networks can change conduct voluntarily or face additional work from the Federal Communications Commission.
