President Trump criticized Fox News during an interview aired by the network late Wednesday, telling host Sean Hannity he has “difficulties” with some of its programing decisions.
Mr. Trump voiced complaints about Fox News near the beginning of a 40-minute phone discussion conducted by Mr. Hannity and shown on the host’s eponymous primetime opinion program.
“I have my own little difficulties with [Fox News], if you want to know the truth,” said Mr. Trump.
“They put people on that I think are inappropriate and say very, very false things and people don’t challenge them. I think they’re trying to be very politically correct or ‘fair and balanced,’ right, is the term. Fair and balanced. But I think they hurt themselves if you want to know the truth,” Mr. Trump concluded.
Mr. Trump has regularly praised Fox News since prior to becoming president and briefly had his own weekly segment on the channel’s morning program, “Fox & Friends,” from 2011-2015.
He has also routinely criticized specific Fox News personalities, however, previously referring to hosts including Chris Wallace and Neil Cavuto as “nasty & obnoxious” and “not too good,” respectively.
The president has also complained repeatedly about polling released by Fox News, including as recently as last week after a recent survey conducted by the channel showed him losing his re-election campaign to several candidates seeking the Democratic nomination.
“Worst Polls, just like in 2016 when they were so far off the mark, are the @FoxNews Polls,” Mr. Trump said on Twitter at the time “Why doesn’t Fox finally get a competent Polling Company?”

Fox has lined up with the rest of the main stream media.
I was hoping he would bring up Donna Brazil telling Rona to go to hell. Nobody else is talking about it.
Why *doesn’t* Fox get a competent polling company?
I’ve always presumed that Fox became “conservative” for the money, not the ideology. They saw a niche market and dived in. I suspect whatever polling firm they use is closer to management’s ideology than their shows are.
Trump is right.. when a louse comes on a show.. and lies.. dont let it sit there unchallenged!.. martha likes to have a show that makes waves.. she even encourages it sometimes.. she goes hot and cold... dont care for her show.
The Murdoch spawn are in control now, and they care more about being part of the cool crowd than making money.
So, mild complaints are “Blasting” now. These media hypers are ruining the language.
Except for prime time, the morning show and a few weekend shows, they have been indistinguishable from any other outlet of the Ministry of Propaganda for years.
Martha tries to hide her hatred for President Trump but it is still there.
I turned off the interview, when Hanity started talking over President Trump like he wasn’t there. And he was doing his usual routine, spouting his laundry list. Rude.
Yup. That's Fox's biggest problem and it's a huge problem.
Their polling company is Fake.
Brazile is a POS with a nastiness that forms the core of her being. Fox has not and will never be able to clean her up. She is neither interesting nor pleasant. The only thing to do about her is to immediately shut off each and every program on which she appears and let the suits at Fox know.
Would love to see Diamond and Silk take on Brazile.
Isn’t Fox owned by Murdock and his liberal sons running Fox?
OAN has replaced FOX as the news network to watch...
You mean ‘Democrat Propagandist News’.
Just don’t see why it should be called ‘MainStream’. anymore.
LOL...They would either leave her crying or sputtering.......Or BOTH...
Hardly.
NeverTrump News is not worth watching before 5PM. They strive to be CNN,
