Frustrated with news coverage, Trump suggests launching own network
Posted 3:48 pm, October 3, 2019, by CNN Wires

President Trump, frustrated with news coverage as he faces an impeachment inquiry, suggested on Thursday the idea of starting a new television network.

The suggestion came after Trump attacked CNN, specifically CNN International, at a Medicare event in Florida. Trump said the news network is “so bad” and called it a “terrible thing for our country.”

“We ought to start our own network and put some real news out there,” Trump said.

Trump added, “We really are, we are looking at that. We should do something about it too. Put some really talented people and get a real voice out there, not a voice that’s fake.”

Despite Trump’s comments, it was not clear whether the White House was seriously looking into launching a network.

If he wants to do it on his own dime fine go ahead. Either start one from scratch or either take over OANN or The Blaze. We don't need a state run news media. Period.

I bet you're relieved Trump didn't suggest starting another state run network.

Definitely not.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
