This last press conference was very strange. There where some very odd key words that President Trump said, a few that caught my attention where "you can just listen to the hateful tone of their broadcasts" and "fake fake news"
What I found very interesting is how certain media outlets where intent on pressing the "are you dealing with Russia" narrative. At first i assumed that they are trying to cater to their audience, but the reporters seemed quite sure that they know something, that they have a huge bombshell.
So what exactly is going on?
I believe that they have been sold a fake story, and the goal of the administration is to get them to drop this fake story, so that they can be both sued and shut down. Doing this will have some serious lasting political consequences.
Imagine if ted turner, George soros, and Jeff beezos where to be charged with disseminating propaganda? Imagine the utter chaos in the democrat party when their top donors are removed as traitors, and their networks are shut down.
Trump and the republicans are in a position to do this. If they can humiliate and route the democrats before 2018 mid terms, then they will gain the ability to modify the US constitution as they see fit. They can do this, and it will take 10-20 years to undo what they set in motion, if it gets undone at all.

It is if it counts as liable/defamation.
No only would he destroy their reputations and those around them, but he would get money out of it too.
