President Trump on Sunday defended Fox News hosts, warning that the Democrats and the "Fake News" media are trying to silence a majority of the country through a campaign against the network's conservative hosts.

Trump specifically named Jeanine Pirro, host of "Justice with Judge Jeanine," calling for Fox to "bring back @JudgeJeanine." Pirro's Fox News show did not air on Saturday night.

Bring back @JudgeJeanine Pirro. The Radical Left Democrats, working closely with their beloved partner, the Fake News Media, is using every trick in the book to SILENCE a majority of our Country. They have all out campaigns against @FoxNews hosts who are doing too well. Fox .....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 17, 2019

....must stay strong and fight back with vigor. Stop working soooo hard on being politically correct, which will only bring you down, and continue to fight for our Country. The losers all want what you have, don’t give it to them. Be strong & prosper, be weak & die! Stay true....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 17, 2019

....to the people that got you there. Keep fighting for Tucker, and fight hard for @JudgeJeanine. Your competitors are jealous - they all want what you’ve got - NUMBER ONE. Don’t hand it to them on a silver platter. They can’t beat you, you can only beat yourselves!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 17, 2019

All I can do is hit FOX where it hurts, and that is in the pocket book by not watching their station, thus not seeing their advertisements. So good bye FOX.

We already are watching, and have been watching OANN for our news, and we also have been watching Tipping Point, and Ledger as well.

[amorphous]

Courageous and wise.

[southernindymom]

We are doing the same thing

[Rinnwald]

I support President Trump, but this time he is...absolutely right again.

You can have Demo candidates like Chickenhooper dissemble when asked if he is a capitalist, but everyone gets the vapors when a president supports core American values. It’s like we’ve fallen through the looking glass into Bizarro World.

Trump is the guy that slaps us, sprays water in our face, and brings us back to reality. I’ve almost forgotten what it was like before the iron vise of PC took over our country.

[wiseprince]

He has given us the real 2020 motto without even knowing it:

Be strong & prosper, be weak & die!

[milagro]

And one way we can support Trump is to support Fox News.
Sure, they have Wallass, Shemp, Cavuto, etc.
But unlike ANY other MSM cable news network, they also have a host of Trump supporters that get the truth out about the corruption in our government and the never-Trumpers who can’t get over losing the power that this corruption has given them.

[Common Sense 101]

Amen to that! The limp-wristed executive pansies that are currently running Fox News into the ground, should take the words “and unafraid” out of their moniker... maybe replace “unafraid” with “gutless”.

[humbleexpert]

Fox’s silencing of a major Conservative voice, even for a week, is a wake-up call to all Conservatives.

Not watching Fox News will mean nothing, since only the Neilson families’ viewing habits are measured in the ratings. Instead, we should boycott Fox’s sponsors.

If Jeanine Pirro’s program is cancelled permanently, she should try to get a daily talk-radio show. Rush Limbaugh reaches 20 million listeners, and Judge Pirro could reach many more than she currently does on her Fox show.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Yes, he does.

[conservative98]

A few minutes ago Howard Kutz did the Jeanine story on the Fox News channel and said being off the air caused some to think it is a suspension, and refused to say if it was a suspension or not.

[bigbob]

Right. Just running off saying “I watch OANN” does nothing, because OANN isn’t even a pimple on the backside of Fox.

Trump’s bully pulpit has the ability to inflict some real damage, and the least we can do is support him.

Keep in mind that Fox News is about 20 hours a day of news coverage which is reasonably “fair and balanced” (but not perfect). Only three hours a night (plus repeats and weekends) are opinion programming which is predominantly conservative (Hannity, Laura, and Tucker - in that order).

It is NOT a “conservative network” nor should it be. But the left cannot stand even one of the many cable channels devoting less than 1/4 of it’s airtime to allowing conservative opinions to be heard, or even to allowing shows like Tucker Carlson who allow both sides to put forth their views.

Totalitarianism is what the Left demands, and they will be satisfied with nothing less, so don’t kid yourself into thinking they won’t go after OANN and others as well if they are allowed to win wiht Fox. Fight them now or fight them later.

[tired&retired]

Fox News needs to get so much crap that they never think of doing this again. Just leaving as a viewer is not enough.

Start a Fox Nation ban... Time to turn up the heat.

[chris37]

The one way we can support Trump is by voting for him.

WTF are you a Fox “News” employee?

[milagro]

AMEN!

[PIF]

Too bad he’s not the one off the air - media buzz really!

[milagro]

No, but it amazes me that some here think that bringing Fox down is some sort of victory for the conservative cause.
I DID/WILL vote for Trump, and I also watch Fox, as do a whole lot of other Trump supporters! Getting rid of Fox will NOT help Trump, and may even HURT him.
If youu want that to happen, enjoy your Phyrric victory!
