Hmmmm?
Is this way for him to get the conservative leaning network to stop pointing out things that Trump does as news and come back to being more of a ‘loyal cheerleader’ for him?
Is he trying to get his supporters to beat down the network?
Or?
Has Trump found a new best media friend in the One America News Network?
Crossing Trump and being attacked by Trump is often has been hurtful for conservative media outlets in the past…
Trump attacked numerous figures in the tweets, including former Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who joined the board of Fox News in March of last year, and former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile, who was accused of leaking CNN town hall questions to then-candidate Hillary Clinton during the Democratic primary in 2016.
His criticism also targeted “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace, who he said was “nastier to Republicans than even Deface the Nation or Sleepy Eyes,” referring to CBS’s “Face the Nation” and NBC’s Chuck Todd, host of “Meet the Press” and “Meet the Press Daily.”
Fox News representatives did not return a request for comment on the president’s tweets. His remarks come as right-wing cable news outlet One America News Network has pushed in recent weeks for the president’s public support, tweeting in March that it called “bullshit” after Trump failed to mention the network by name at a campaign rally….

Tonights Fox News online lead?
Biden sexual harassment story.…
Fox GOT the message, eh?
My Name Is Jack says
Maybe he is just being “sarcastic?”
jamesb says
I think he’s telling them to get with HIS program, which they apparently did right quick be going after Biden…
jamesb says
They are STILL with the story this morning…
Fox got the message
CG says
I don’t have Fox News on, but how is it not a legitimate story? If not for non-stop virus coverage, I assume it would be covered everywhere.
jamesb says
Sure it’s a story….
Like Trump settlements and Kavanagh?
Guys who are STILL in their government jobs despite WORST accusations ?
CG says
Well, then you certainly can’t complain if it receives coverage. Right now, there is no doubt, it is receiving nowhere near the amount of coverage that other stories. such as what you referenced, have gotten.
jamesb says
Nor should it CG….
The story is for 27 years ago, from a Bernie Sanders supporter, and has escalated from a touching to an assault…
The story is featured in Fox, after Trump spanked the channel…
The story come to light after Sanders supporters come to realise that their ‘guy’ wasn’t gonna be the nominee …
I REALLY think this is a last ditch effort to knock Biden out of the nomination by Sanders supporters and OF COURSE Republicans …
CG says
It certainly is far more corroborated and has far more specific details regarding a U.S. Senator than the story alleged from approximately 35 years ago against High School student Brett Kavanaugh. It’s not getting anywhere close to amount of coverage though. That is a clear double standard.
jamesb says
This is a vain attempt to knock Biden…
It isn’t gonna work…
CG says
Were the allegations against Trump the same thing?
What about those made late in the game against conservative Supreme Court nominees?
The pushback in your party against Michael Bloomberg over alleged jokes from decades ago?
Maybe when it happens to someone you are “rooting” for, you can understand a different perspective about the nature of politics and if as you have said before “anything is fair when you want to win.”
jamesb says
I agree Scott
This story is about political games…
And shouldn’t be taken seriously
Scott P says
I really don’t care to revisit this “devil’s triangle”–no matter how much CG backs up Kavanaugh’s lie that it’s just a drinking game.
I’ll never know if Ford or Kavanaugh told the truth about what happened at that party but I already know the overgrown preppie lied about that. I’d rather not spend the afternoon hearing a once and future Republican defend that obvious lie.
Have a good one!
CG says
No evidence of there ever even being a “party.” No evidence has ever been presented that Kavanaugh and Ford were ever even in the same room together at any point in their lives.
We know that Reade worked for Biden. Maybe she is lying. It is quite possible, but she worked for him and she is not a Republican.
Scott P says
Does it have to be an official party to have a devil’s triangle gang bang? Er, I mean “drinking game”–wink wink
Scott P says
Well there are a lot of inconsistencies wirh Reade’s story and even her brother won’t confirm it.
And before CG brings up Kavanaugh let’s remember that Supreme Court justices do not face the voters and are there for life. The Senare had an obligation to look into Ford’s accusations. If anything it just showed Kavanaugh to be of ill temper and manner.
I await CG’s lecture on me being “tribalist” despite his own continues tribalist support of Republicans not named Trump.
CG says
Unlike the tribalist jackals on the left, I will state that I do not know if the sexual assault (it goes far beyond “harassment”) allegations that Tara Reade are making are true. In fact, I hope they are not true. Nonetheless, the left nor media cannot pick and choose whom to apply their standards to.
If the concept is that this is a matter that the voters will have to ultimately decide, it leads more credence to the need for it to be publicly covered.
Scott P says
“Tribalist jakals on the left”
Are you sure you aren’t auditioning for a spot on FOX News?
CG says
I’d love to get a job offer right now and make a change. Plus, I’d get to piss Trump off too.
My Name Is Jack says
I have not involved myself in these discussions in the past.I have lots of experience in these type matters in my professional life.My experience has been that the ones that have the most validity are those that come forward shortly after the event.
As all here know ,I have stated on many occasions that it is my belief that a Supreme Court nominee should be confirmed as long as the nominee is “qualified.” I have further stated that ,over my adult years, had I been a Senator ,I would have voted for every nominee ,except Nixon nominee G Harrold Carswell in 1970 ,whom I regarded as not qualified for the position.He is the only one.Accordingly, I cannot be accused of having it in for Brett Kavanaugh.I would have voted for his confirmation.
As to the allegations against Biden?The matter in question alledgedly occurred 27 years ago.Ive read what evidence exists .As in the Kavanaugh case, I find it inconclusive.
Having said that?And not unusually I might add,those who oppose Biden will tend to “believe ”it as did those opposed to Kavanaugh .
I agree that this would probably be a bigger story if not for the present pandemic which totally overshadows all other news.
So we have Trump and Biden ,Trump accused (and has essentially admitted to ) several sexual misconduct allegations and Biden now accused on one.Will this have much,if any effect on the election ?No.
Those supporting each candidate will believe ,or disbelieve ,what they want.As these type things seem to becoming more prevalent in our public life , my advice to the victims thereof?Waiting twenty,thirty or forty years to come forward may be explainable by psychologists , counselors, etc;however, it will not play well in the court of public opinion.
In a polarized society like ours?All will be viewed through a political prism and, absent conclusive physical evidence, the very fact of the length of time between the alledged act(s) and the public accusation will always be subject to the legalese I used above,”inconclusive.”
And that’s my comment.
jamesb says
Thank Jack….
I’m inclined to agree with your point of view
jamesb says
Fox STILL riding the Reade story….
Again?
Trump works his mojo….
