President Donald Trump criticized Fox News on Friday in some of his sharpest rhetoric to date, noting that the network was “no longer great” in 2020.
Trump spoke about Fox News in an event with talk radio legend Rush Limbaugh on Friday and also in an interview with talk radio host Mark Levin.
...
“One of the biggest differences is Fox,” he said during Levin’s show. “Fox is a whole different ballgame than it used to be. Fox was great. Fox was great. Fox is no longer great.”
Levin, who has a weekend program on Fox News, noted that he would probably get some phone calls from Fox News executives to complain about Trump’s comments.
“I say it on Fox. I don’t care,” Trump replied. “What difference does it make at this point?”
The president also criticized Fox News during his two-hour “radio rally” with talk radio host Rush Limbaugh.
“You have such an incredible audience. So I can tell them about Fox being a big obstacle,” said Trump. “It’s a problem. Fox is a problem.”
Trump admitted to Limbaugh that he would continue to deal with Fox’s more critical tone toward his presidency.
“I deal with ’em. I deal with ’em,” he said. “But they’ve gone a very different path. It’s a much different group. They have guys on there that are so bad.”
The president blamed the network’s more critical tone toward him on former Speaker Paul Ryan, whom they hired to sit on the company’s board.
“When Roger Ailes ran Fox, I mean, Roger had a very strong point of view. It’s totally gone,” Trump said to Limbaugh. “And I think it’s influenced by Paul Ryan.”

Fox has been dying a slow death for years.
What happened to News Corp and why back in 2015/6 and since would make one heck of a book, I’ll bet...
President Trump speaks the Truth.............
Yes she has. My daughter and I spoke about her a few days ago. She also allows guests, without challenge, to trash Trump.
It’s my home page on all my devices.
It doesn’t have the glitzy anchors you know and hate. They don’t talk about the Kardashians. Doesn’t seem like they do it as much now, but when they first started the commercials were mixed in with patriotic American history facts, good stuff.
True
I had heard the more liberal son quit and the other son’s views were more in line with his father’s. It was recent as in weeks, so I hope they change course soon.
Trumps NEXT Target. He will shift to MEDIA.
Trump Truth Network
I first became aware of it when Judge Nap came back after being suspended for telling the truth about Britain’s involvement in the Russia hoax. He was different. Could watch him anymore.
One person on a board of directors does not make that much difference.
It is the day to day management and editorial management that make the difference.
Surprisingly, it is also the very front line writers and producers. They tend to be younger—and they have all come out of the university system that hates Trump.
Until Fox moves out of NYC, you will get their crappy coverage.
I knew when Roger died Fox would die with him.
OAN is pro free trade and libertarian. For me OAN is not much of an improvement.
4 Nov 2020, I am done with Fox. I am finishing out this election cycle but will catch Carlson or Ingraham on streaming replays later in the evening if something interesting is happening. We need to “Drudge” FOX News. When there numbers tank they will try to get viewers back but as with Drudge we will have moved on. You would think with sports numbers in the tank these executives would figure out who actually pays to watch there $hit.
When liberals try to make points in an argument they feel so informed because they watch Fox. I always say, I bet you are watching Fox and sorry you are misinformed.
FOX IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. Dump Fox for One America News and or NewsMax. Fox is run by the America hating, Trump hating, us hating Murdoch family. They hired lil Paulie Ryan the quisling who spent two years undermining Trump’s agenda, cheating pos Donna Brazile and showcase Juan Williams whose only job is to attack conservative ideas and attack Trump. One America News IS what Fox used to pretend to be when it pretended to care about truth and honesty in reporting. I would be just as happy to see Fox go under as see the nba and nfl collapse.
When friends say they watch Fox, I say that is a remedial News Network if you want Honors news listen to radio.
I agree with you. Let us not forget Donna Brazile who fed the questions to Hillary Clinton.
Fox has joined the establishment media Mafia now they get to go to all the party’s and all the high times.
Looks like Fox just got replaced by the Newsmax channel.
