If he removed licenses from media companies that were critical of him, there would be approximately 0 media companies, and yet he's on track to win. One of the biggest takeaways from this election is that the populace largely doesn't trust the media.

Do you support the dismantling of a free press?

If you need a license to operate you're not free.

The license is for the use of the broadcast spectrum (a scarce, shared resource), not practicing journalism.

Of course not. He was president for four years and yet the press remains what it is. Why do you think he would destroy the free press?

Because he said he would. Hopefully that was a lie too, but I guess we get to find out.

He also promised a wall that never materialized so ...

Hey man ... just asking questions, right?

Nobody cares about the free press, their content is, for the most part, garbage. I think this election has signalled the death of the mainstream media, and the rise of independent media. I find this absolutely wonderful.

They definitely trust the media. Otherwise he would have been elected.

"Among all U.S. adults, 43% say they trust Fox News for political and election news"

False. Did you see what CBS did to the Harris interview? That behavior is explicitly what he was talking about. CBS edited an interview under the guise of their news department to switch answers to questions with other answers. It wasn’t that CBS was critical of Trump, it’s that they engaged in outright fraud using publicly licensed airwaves. That’s against FCC rules. What CBS did wasn’t disinformation — it was fraud.

Perhaps a sanity check at those media companies would help. They've been broadcasting propaganda non-stop and you've witnessed a colony collapse just today.
