Now that he's losing Fox News...

"CNN is a voice that really seems to be a voice out there, and it's a terrible thing for our country. And we ought to start our own network and put some real news out there," Trump said during [his] speech in The Villages, Fla., on Thursday afternoon.

[...]

“We are looking at that,” Trump went on. “We should do something about it, too. Put some really talented people and get a real voice out there. Not a voice that's fake."

  The Hill
A dictator's necessary first move.
“Despite his remark, @POTUS should be well aware @VOANews is still around as he has given the US-government operated broadcaster two on-camera interviews and regularly answers questions from me and @pwidakuswara (he responded to her query this morning about the Taliban),” Steve Herman, the White House Bureau chief for the news platform, wrote in a tweet.

[...]

“VOA has always been — and still is – – proud of its mission to provide objective, credible news and information to countries around the world that have no other access to it and to tell America’s story overseas,” [Amanda Bennett, director of Voice of America,] said in the statement.
Herman and Bennett misunderstand Trump's point. By "we", he doesn't mean the American government/"our country". He means the Trump administration/cabal.

If he's not put in jail (and maybe even if he is) after he's out of office, he's going to start his own network. LNN. Lying News Network.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
