Overview

• In a Truth Social post, the president demanded the FCC “look into” NBC’s license while criticizing coverage he says favors Democrats.
• He mocked Al Sharpton with an old photo and cited the Tawana Brawley case, claiming Comcast CEO Brian Roberts is unwilling to drop Sharpton for political reasons.
• Sharpton’s PoliticsNation airs on MSNBC rather than NBC, a conflation noted by outlets summarizing the post.
• The FCC licenses local broadcast stations, not cable networks like MSNBC, and no formal inquiry or enforcement action has been announced.
• MSNBC is preparing to be spun off from Comcast and rebranded as MS NOW, a restructuring that further limits broadcast-licensing leverage over its programming.
