Trump Urges FCC to Probe Media Polling, Punish NBC Moderator

Bloomberg · back to the audit
President Donald Trump stepped up his attacks against the media on Sunday with an admonition to the Federal Communications Commission to investigate polling used by news outlets and punish a prominent television news host.

Trump has long had an adversarial relationship with journalists and news organizations who publish stories he doesn't like, particularly those about his standing in the polls. Numerous recent polls show Trump has the lowest approval rating of either of his terms in office as the unpopular Iran war continues and gas prices remain high.
