President Donald Trump on Saturday tweeted a series of comments
accusing social media companies of

Trump did not name any companies specifically, but did claim
that CNN and MSNBC spread "Fake News." MSNBC is part of NBC News.

Trump's tweets come after Facebook, Google and Apple
have each taken steps to remove conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his Infowars media outlet from its platforms. Twitter also suspended
Jones for a week. Jones is best known for spreading the unfounded
theory that the elementary school massacre at Sandy Hook was a hoax,
a claim that has made him the target of civil lawsuits.

But he does have a solution. Sort of. And it involves both sides.
Trump tweeted that “too many voices are being destroyed, some good and some bad, and that cannot be allowed to happen.” So, he added: “Let everybody participate, good & bad, and we will all just have to figure it out!”
