Trump’s Escalating War With Media Hits New Level After Host Attack

Donald Trump is once again igniting controversy, this time targeting MSNBC's “PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton.” In a Truth Social post dated Oct. 4, the former president urged the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to investigate what he deemed “biased” networks for platforming his political critics. Trump specifically went after NBC and Sharpton's program, accusing them of disseminating “fake stories.”Sharpton, reflecting on the show’s contents in a tweet, stated that both he and Congressman Gregory Meeks had significant concerns regarding Trump's remarks. Highlighting Trump's rhetoric toward the military, they questioned his authoritarian tendencies towards Democratic-controlled states.Trump dismissed Sharpton's show as “one of the Lowest Rated Shows in Television History,” attributing its survival to the network's chairman prioritizing political correctness. He suggested the FCC examine NBC's license, claiming it presents predominantly positive Democrat narratives. Sharpton, who has undergone a significant weight loss, has remained silent amid Trump's insults.
