A threat to challenge broadcast licenses is not "tweaking the media." It's a fundamental disregard for the First Amendment and respect for core American values. Denigrating a free press, a hallmark of democracy, isn't crazy like a fox. It's just crazy. And it demeans the office of the presidency.

The evidence of Russian election interference comes from 17 U.S. Intelligence agencies. But your false equivalency is precisely what underscores the 'Time' article!Some peope will not accept truth if it contradicts their beliefs. Instead, they will embrace -- and excuse -- Trump's lies -- even if it denigrates a free press and independent judiciary, hallmarks of American democracy. Trump has disgraced himself -- and thus his country -- repeatedly. It's time for his supporters to stop defending the outrages and start protesting the assault on the office. The presidency is too important to be demeaned on a daily basis.
