President Trump on Wednesday responded to the Democratic National Committee refusing to let Fox News host a Democratic primary debate by threatening to "do the same thing" with other networks during the general election.
"Democrats just blocked @FoxNews from holding a debate. Good, then I think I'll do the same thing with the Fake News Networks and the Radical Left Democrats in the General Election debates!" Trump tweeted Wednesday.
The president alone would not have the power to prevent outlets from hosting a general election debate.
Note EU-Digest: Be it the Republicans, the Democrats or the President, neither one should meddle in how the news media wants to do their reporting - that is all part of freedom of the press
