President Trump began his Sunday morning venting about 'Saturday Night Live' He complained about the show's parody of him, charging them as 'an advertisement without consequences' to help Democrats He suggested federal regulators should investigate 'Saturday Night's Live' brand of satire is considered protected speech under the first amendment Trump has often been mocked by the show with Alec Baldwin portraying him as bumbling commander in chief Hillary Clinton was mocked by the program during the 2016 election President Donald Trump began his Sunday morning venting about 'Saturday Night Live,' complaining the show should be investigated by federal regulators for mocking him but not Democrats. The president complained their treatment of him was 'like an advertisement without consequences' and a boost to help Democrats. 'It's truly incredible that shows like Saturday Night Live, not funny/no talent, can spend all of their time knocking the same person (me), over & over, without so much of a mention of 'the other side.' Like an advertisement without consequences. Same with Late Night Shows,' he wrote on Twitter.

'Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC!' Trump blasted in a Sunday morning tweet on February 17. 'Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? Likewise for many other shows? Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion!' Trump has been fighting claims for more than two years that his 2016 campaign colluded with agents of the Kremlin to impact the result of the presidential election. The concept of a hopelessly biased political press corps is one argument that buoyed Trump's first candidacy, and which campaign insiders say he will return to repeatedly as he runs in 2020.
Poster Comment: There's only so much of this ridiculousness from the media that a person could take no matter who it is. Problem with his theory is you'd have to go after every late night talk show as well.

Oh for crying out loud Donald - grow a thicker skin! 'Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? How do Limbaugh and FOX News get away with 24/7 sucking up to Trump? The Fairness Doctrine was revoked in 1987 The fairness doctrine of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, was a policy that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was—in the FCC's view—honest, equitable, and balanced. The FCC eliminated the policy in 1987 and removed the rule that implemented the policy from the Federal Register in August 2011. What Trump should do instead of whine is to try and get that re-instated. It's unclear if so-called "comedy" shows were covered in the Fairness Doctrine. It required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest, and to air contrasting views regarding those matters. Stations were given wide latitude as to how to provide contrasting views: It could be done through news segments, public affairs shows, or editorials. The doctrine did not require equal time for opposing views but required that contrasting viewpoints be presented. I agree with Trump that the MSM networks are adamantly against him - but his demand is not the right way to go about making the networks more balanced. His constant whining about it simply makes him appear undignified and petty.
But He Fights. Trump's objective may be merely to call out the SNL crew and media bias in general and to create a little Twitter shitstorm about it between Left and Right with Big Media caught in the middle. There's good reason to think this is his motivation since he undoubtedly has good lawyers at the WH and DOJ who will tell him that he can't win in court. His objective might also be to set the stage to exclude NBC, for instance, from the WH press pool or to instruct his press secretary to take almost no questions from any NBC reporter or to maybe demote them from the front rows of the press briefing room to the back row, as Tony Snow once did to Helen Thomas (which largely ended her prominence before her career came to an abrupt end over some minor antisemitic comment she made after she was demoted from the WH press pool's front row). A president doesn't have to win in court to score a victory in rallying public opinion or manipulating elements of the libmedia. Isn't it a little too late to worry about that? LOL
But He Fights. You believe that his tweeting every inane thought that pops into his head is "fighting"? Twitter is for teenagers and millenials - Trump only makes himself appear childish with these twitterized diatribes. No one over 25 should be on twitter.
No one over 25 should be on twitter. Hold on … Something sounds wrong here. Let me see now … You libertarians want people to have freedom of speech. Hmmm … But you want to have control over the medium they use to exercise their freedom on speech. Confusing …
But you want to have control over the medium they use to exercise their freedom on speech. It's a personal opinion assclown - I'm not calling for fed.gov to ban anyoune over 25 from twittering. Twitter has single handedly dumbed down the millions of vacuous nitwits who use it. I don't know what your stupidity can be chalked up to however.
If you need any help, call on Bucky ot hondope. They are experts in displaying stupidity. Why, stupidity is actualy part of their human nature. But really, I would not spend too much time on it. Move on … Let’s get back to the: “The Establishments war on Donald Trump.”
And the basis of this astonishing conclusion of yours – Is? You ever seen a tweet gramps?
Leading such busy lives, people do not have the time or the mood to read long walls of text. They prefer to capture only the essence, and using Twitter in education helps you with that. This social media portal is widely used among the academia all across the world. Students, journalists, actors, politicians, important leaders, and sports people… they all use Twitter. So how can such a tool really prove helpful in the educational field? There remainder of this story can be found here.
Wiki: "Tweets were originally restricted to 140 characters, but on November 7, 2017, this limit was doubled for all languages except Chinese, Japanese, and Korean." So, 280 characters, not 140. And you can use short URLs to embed links, video, audio, pix, embedded documents like Scribd or PDFs. You can pack a lot into 280 characters with all that stuff.

Many regard Twitter as quite a useless social media sharing portal. Some have this negative opinion, mainly because of the fact Twitter allows you to “tweet” or post only 140 characters in length. This length equals the text of a regular SMS, and for some this is simply not enough. However, Twitter proves to be an extremely helpful little educational tool. By using Twitter in education, you can post only a few short sentences, but that is exactly enough to transmit the essence of your message.
