The US president on Sunday called for Kristen Welker, host of NBC's "Meet the Press," to be "reprimanded or sanctioned" by the federal communications regulator, the FCC.
Donald Trump 's target this time is a television journalist. On Sunday, the president publicly called on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to take action against Kristen Welker, the face of the Sunday program "Meet the Press" broadcast on NBC.
It all started with a live report by Welker on NBC's local Washington station, before the show aired. The reporter described the performance of Trump-backed candidates in recent elections as "mixed," a statement the president deemed unacceptable.
Trump then demanded a "reprimand or punishment" for the anchorwoman, invoking the role of the FCC, the media regulator in the United States. This outburst is part of a long-standing dispute between the president and major national news networks, which he regularly accuses of bias.
