You need to work on you reading comprehension, you said BROADCAST false information not REPORT AS NEWS.
As I said thats not gonna help anyway.
No he couldn't. As Fox news as argued in court there is a difference between news reporting and commentary.
Likewise the bar for proving a deliberate distortion is incredibly high. If CNN reports that "a new study shows 2 + 2 = 5" they get away with it uf tgere is a study that does say that.
Trump hasnt done it so far because it would be a huge uphill battle legally. The first amendment is taken very seriously by the legal system, so that law is only designed to cover the most egregious things like reporting the wrong location to vote or things that are simple and obvious.
Its not designed ir intended to cover political spin on facts.

If you completely destroy your enemies, there is nobody left to complain.

You cant completely destroy your enemy if they have the ability to make legal appeals they will probably win.
