Trump Calls for Punishment of ABC News Over Debate Moderation

Former President Donald Trump criticized ABC News for what he described as hostile moderation during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, suggesting that the network should face consequences. “They ought to take away their license,” Trump said on “Fox and Friends,” despite the fact that the FCC does not license major networks like ABC, but rather local stations.

Trump has frequently attacked ABC and other mainstream media, labeling them “fake news” and the “enemy of the people.” His comments came after a debate that many analysts said did not go well for Trump, who claimed it was “three on one.”

This follows Trump’s ongoing threats against media companies, including a previous warning to Comcast Universal of potential investigations into NBC and MSNBC if he is re-elected. Media watchdogs have raised concerns that such rhetoric could incite violence against journalists.
