Trump Urges FCC To Investigate NBC License Over Sharpton Show

President Donald Trump has called for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to investigate NBC's broadcasting license, specifically targeting Rev. Al Sharpton and his MSNBC show, PoliticsNation. Trump criticized the show’s low ratings and accused NBC and MSNBC of airing predominantly positive content about Democrats, which he claims is unfair to Republicans. He also referenced Sharpton's past involvement in the Tawana Brawley case and accused Comcast CEO Brian Roberts of keeping Sharpton on air for political correctness despite poor ratings. Trump's remarks came after Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal appeared on Sharpton's show and criticized Trump's policies, including his use of the National Guard in Portland. However, it is important to note that the FCC has limited jurisdiction over cable networks like MSNBC, and NBC and MSNBC operate as distinct entities under Comcast's ownership. Sharpton and MSNBC representatives have not responded to Trump’s accusations.
