Trump lashes out Fox News' Shep Smith, says 'fake news CNN is better'
The Hill ^ | 08/07/2019 | Justin Wise

President Trump on Wednesday renewed his criticism of Fox News anchor Shepard Smith, arguing that "fake news CNN" was better and that he now tunes into the conservative news outlet One America News whenever he gets the chance.

"Watching Fake News CNN is better than watching Shepard Smith, the lowest rated show on @FoxNews," Trump tweeted on a day during which he visited first responders and survivors of mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio. "Actually, whenever possible, I turn to [One America News]!"

It was not immediately clear what Trump's tweets, which followed Smith's daily program and came while Trump was aboard Air Force One to El Paso, were referencing.

Trump has shown a greater willingness recently to condemn Fox News over what he views as an unfair coverage. After the network aired a "F--- Trump" chant from a bar in France in July, Trump claimed that it was "changing fast" and forgetting "the people who got them there."

Since Murdoch turned it over to his kids FNC especially on the weekends has gone to HELL...er I mean the left. We quit FNC, and watch only OANN anymore. A couple of programs on FBN, but otherwise FOX is out.

Smith is only the tip of the iceberg that is the rot at faux news.

Great that the President is mentioning OANN.

They deserve a shot at being the mainstream conservative channel.

I turn off the tv whenever Smith comes on. CNN news is far better. Fox on weekends is unbearable - especially on those weekends with mass shootings.

Absolutely true. Shemp of Three Stooges fame has more gravitas than Shep does. He’s a drama queen and his show is like a soap opera.

How much longer will people like Hannity and Ingraham stick around? Maybe they will bolt for OANN.

Fox is dreadful. Unless you like tick tocks and “tomorrow tomorrow” from Hannity.

Lost my TV over 10 years ago in a horrible fishing accident. You really cannot pilot a boat well while watching the tele. Lol.

Unfortunately now some tards at Fox seem to be controversially stupid to garner attention and ratings for themselves.

In the future reckoning, the Goats WILL be separated from the Sheep

When Ayles left and Murdoch left, it was only a matter of time before the network went to hell. I can get interested inOAN for some reason. Just no personalities. They need to get more conservative talent in there.
