WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump is again pressuring the U.S. Federal Communications Commission over a broadcast news programme after failing for years to convince regulators to take any action against broadcasters.
On Monday, Trump said NBC News "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd should be fired, suggesting the programme misleadingly aired only part of U.S. Attorney General William Barr's answer to a question. Trump tweeted at FCC Chairman Ajit Pai and said Todd "knew exactly what he was doing. Public Airwaves = Fake News! @AjitPaiFCC."
