Trump jumps shark with retweets attacking Fox News host

... Trump appeared to have been watching TV at the White House, before leaving for a second straight day at his golf club in Sterling, Virginia.

On Fox & Friends, host Ed Henry had asked radio host Mark Levin if he thought the president did anything “illegal” in the 25 July phone call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy which is at the heart of impeachment proceedings.

True to form, Levin reacted angrily. This seemed to please the president, who retweeted more than 20 tweets about the exchange.

One referred to another Fox News anchor whose coverage of the Ukraine scandal has stoked turmoil at the network: “Can we face off Levin and worlds [sic] worst anchor Chris Wallace?”

Others included: “Mark Levin ripped Ed Henry a new one” and “Mark Levin sure put that lying shit head Ed Henry in his place didn’t he?”

Not his words. Trump is retweeting a bunch of other tweeters.

My mistake then since I don't know how that crap works..........

Ed Henry has always had anti-Trump bias.
+++++
No he hasn’t. If you make a claim like that you need to have some evidence.

You won’t find it.

And I can understand Levin’s angry response bu the question was legitimate - that is the claim of the MSM. Ed Henry threw Levin a softball and Levin decided to criticize Henry. That’s Levin. Smart but very emotional.

Dear POTUS: I love you, but lay off Ed Henry. Go after Shep Smith and Chris Wallace all you want, but lay off Ed.

Guardian?

Really?

Not even fake news, a fake observation from England posing as news!

All the names you list are directly over the target, as you say. I think Jesse has a good way of explaining things — that even the dolt Juan can understand.

That claim is a lie, and anyone repeating it isn't a reporter, but rather a sterling, grade A s&ht head. Good for Levin for stating as much.

I’ve seen Ed Henry conduct some pretty nasty interviews lately. Went after Gaetz the other night. Thought I was watching MSNBC.

OAN pretty much lost me last Wednesday when they cut away from PDJT NOT ONCE BUT TWICE.

First, they abruptly ceased coverage of President Trump’s meeting on Venezuela, just to continue with regular news.

The very next hour, they had the temerity to break away from POTUS’s signing of a new trade deal with Japan’s PM Abe—to carry Adam Schiff’s presser.
Moreover, they failed to air the subsequent bilateral meeting between Trump and Abe.

Left infuriated, I searched for their phone number to vent my unmitigated outrage, but could not find one.

Just think, OANN left our President in favor of Schiff!!!

I understand your concern. But watch Hannity or Tucker or Laura sometime. They don’t just repeat the lie they show a video of the Dumbocrat telling it. And then they shoot it down.

Your heart is in the right place but your suggestion just runs counter to how journalism works.

Whenever I turn off my television, I make sure to change the channel to CSPAN. Even when the tube is off, if the tuner is still on Fox, that’s what the cable company reports I’m tuned to. Surely don’t want to give fake viewers to Shemp or somebody else they plug in...

Henry didn’t repeat a lie and then shoot it down, as in your Hannity, Tucker, Laura example. Rather he repeated a lie and then asked Levin to explain. That doesn’t make Ed Henry a journalist but rather a cheap propagandist, which is in vogue today at Fox.

Did Levin shoot it down? It was his job to do so not Ed Henry’s. It was a setup for Levin.

Or are you assuming that Ed Henry’s long record of Very positive Trump support was erased overnight and he is now pro-Pelosi?

I don’t think so.

I can’t say this any clearer; Trump’s call to Zelensky wasn’t, as Henry asserted, “... to dig up dirt on a candidate...”. That was a boldfaced lie, and Levin was correct to call him out on it.
