A Shook President Trump Bitches About Fox News On Fox News
Politics

It’s Election Day, and President Trump has a bone to pick… with Fox News. The conservative news network has not given off the kind of authoritarian state media energy that Trump had been hoping during the 2020 election cycle, and he made his displeasure known during a call to Fox News program Fox and Friends.
Fox and Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade relayed former President Obama’s scathing rebuke of Trump on Monday, in which Obama accused Trump of caring more about hosting massive rallies than “keeping people safe” from the covid-19 pandemic.
“Fortunately…[Obama is] not getting anybody to go listen to him too much,” Trump said. “Actually, Fox puts him on more than anybody else, which is sort of shocking to me, because Fox has changed a lot.”
In other words, Fox is not the propaganda agent it once was, according to Trump. This is an absurd assertion, as Fox News is still a blindly pro-Trump news network. Only Chris Wallace, one of the more even-keeled Fox News hosts, bothers grilling the president, and even then it’s not a very striking sear.
