the CBS Evening News the other night (Thursday or Friday, I can't recall right now), the spelling had been changed to "stopped." Either that, or someone in the WH had noticed the misspelling, and had persuaded Trump to delete the original and retweet the rant with the correct spelling.

Here are Thursday's and Friday's episodes. See if the altered tweet is here. I'm pretty sure it was from Friday evening.

Oh, I found it. Look at Thursday's episode, at 4:21:

I now see that the original Trump tweet was deleted and replaced:

Radical Left Governor
@JayInslee
and the Mayor of Seattle are being taunted and played at a level that our great Country has never seen before. Take back your city NOW. If you don’t do it, I will. This is not a game. These ugly Anarchists must be stopped IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST!

I suspect the Washington AG and perhaps the Seattle DA may have something to say about this. Ford_Prefect Jun 2020 #7
Fox News is not licensed to broadcast... reACTIONary Jun 2020 #21

Does OAN have a broadcast license regulated by the FCC? n/t pnwmom Jun 2020 #10
Its programming is distributed via cable and satellite, the same as Fox News, I think. NT mahatmakanejeeves Jun 2020 #15
Except Fox is also one of a very limited number of local stations. pnwmom Jun 2020 #16
That's a different entity. Fox Broadcasting and Fox News are separate operations. mahatmakanejeeves Jun 2020 #17
Their right to sell advertising in local markets is regulated. That is an issue the states and Ford_Prefect Jun 2020 #23
Can you cite a regulation for that? Thanks. NT mahatmakanejeeves Jun 2020 #25
It seems the FCC DOES have jurisdiction over some false and misleading NEWS content. Ford_Prefect Jun 2020 #27
