A good analysis.
I think djt pulled one to many “I am the show.. and you are all stupid moves” on a man with more money and less to fear from him than trump thinks
The echo chamber effect makes supporters of candidate hear what they want on FR but out in the rest of the world its a fine line from Strong to bully I think Fox just decided not to be bullied.. now we see if Trump is as strong as he thinks
Another point:
The rest of the MSM and non-Fox followers HATE Fox News. Fox is ridiculed as ‘Faux news’ and is viewed as in the tank for the Republican establishment.
So, Trump being at war with them appeals to independents and maybe registered Democrats willing to vote for Trump (union guys, blacks, and alienated voters who gave up on both parties).
