Fox News cutting back on Trump rally coverage

Fox News Channel has recently pulled back from airing President Donald Trump’s campaign-style rallies during prime time, a move that could put a crimp in Republican efforts to reach voters in the weeks before midterm elections.

During much of the late summer, Fox would pre-empt its lucrative nightly lineup of Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham in order to air the rallies. None of its rivals did so. It was an important platform for the president and his supporters, since Fox’s opinionated hosts are generally their first choice for political coverage.

On Tuesday of last week, Carlson told viewers that Fox would be monitoring the president’s rally from Mississippi and would break in for any news. […]

Without live coverage of his rally on Wednesday, the president found other ways to reach Fox’s audience. He had a phone interview with Fox’s Shannon Bream on Wednesday night and called into the morning “Fox & Friends” show on Thursday. …

In fairness, Trump is going to be having rallies nearly every night from now until election day (he'll be in Ohio tomorrow night and Kentucky on Saturday night).

I would not expect FoxNews to carry every single one. He's basically giving the same stump speech with only a few variations from night to night.

For the diehards (like me), there is RightSide Broadcasting that can be subscribed to on YouTube.

Their feeds are usually poor and the young girls at the events are simply irritating.

Fox News is the textbook example of how a reasonable media slides to rabid left

Probably not true, but send messages to FOX anyway.

Both FOX News and FOX Business want your business.

It is on YouTube at https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCHqC-yWZ1kri4YzwRSt6RGQ and I believe rsbn.tv.

Sorry for the delay - Internet service just returned after the storm.
