Trump Lashes Out at Fox News for 'Pushing' a 'Democrat Agenda'
NewsMax ^ | Sunday, 04 September 2022 10:33 PM EDT | Eric Mack

Former President Donald Trump continued his rebuke of Fox News, saying the conservative network is opening the door for competition by turning to share the "Democrat agenda."

"Wow! Fox News is really pushing the Democrats and the Democrat agenda," Trump wrote Sunday night on Truth Social. "Gets worse every single day. So many Dems interviewed with only softball questions, then Republican counterparts get creamed."

Among the specific Fox News targets was a frequent foil, Karl Rove, who was a former White House deputy chief of staff in President George W. Bush's administration – a regime that frequent draws rebukes from Trump on foreign policy.

"RINO Karl Rove is unwatchable, very negative, and on all the time – has a big record of losing!" Trump's statement added.

Trump's remarks come one night after Newsmax aired his Save America rally speech in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, in its entirety.  Fox News did not air the rally.

Trump also hit Fox News for airing Lincoln Project television ads. The Lincoln Project has come under fire in recent years because of lurid allegations levied against some of its founders.

"Not an easy place to be as a Republican, especially with all of the 'pervert' purchased ads," Trump's statement continued.

Trump even vowed to help the struggling CNN network – with he has often called the "Clinton News Network" – to become more conservative.

"If 'low ratings' CNN ever went conservative, they would be an absolute gold mine, and I would help them to do so!" Trump concluded.

Previously, Trump has said “Newsmax has been really good” while claiming that Fox News coverage cost him the 2020 election.

If you watch in the afternoon you will agree with Trump.

Trump will be running for president again.

FOX news has been avoiding putting him on the network, for interviews or otherwise.

Trump can easily get back at them.

Being that he’s going to be the main headline maker in 2023-2024 through the campaign, he could refuse to get on FOX or even be interviewed by any FOX reporter. Trump doesn’t need FOX and FOX will be needing him for ratings.

Maybe Chris Licht over at CNN is listening. He's the guy who recently fired Brian Stelzer and John Harwood.

For CNN to go conservative, they'd have to fire Acosta, Jake Tapper, Dana Bash, Wolf Blitzer, Don Lemon and the whole cast of the Morning show.

Oh, and Chris Wallace. Move him over to the CNN+ streaming service. lol

Fox News 6-11 pm CDT lineup is very pro-Trump.

But, when the network goes with Bret Baier, Neil Cavuto, Harold Ford Jr., Geraldo Revolting, and Karl Rove, it does make you think that the execs at the network are suffering from the WOKE virus.

Stopped watching Fox on election night 2020 when they made the early call for AZ.

And I had been watching since the 1990s.

Have not watched one single minute since. I could tell they had been going CNN-lite, and that sealed it.

I get all of my news online, and I watch Steve Bannon.

Yeah, they're so "pro-Trump" that none of them, ever once, spent a single minute on the election crimes/corruption of 2020 - which their employer played a major role in.

They're so "pro-Trump" they cancel any and all discussion of the film "2000 mules."

Their producers are good at writing screeds for TV addicted boomers, who pathetically tune into their rants... thinking they're "pro-Trump."

President Trump is right on target. That Bushie Rove is a RINO of the highest order.

“..Fox News 6-11 pm CDT lineup is very pro-Trump...”

Yes, and also Maria Bartiroma, Lou Dobbs, Mark Levin, Kudlow, Jeanine Pirro, Pete Hegspeth, Bongino, Gutfield, and several more. They have more conservatives than liberals, for sure.

Yup, I was probably the loudest mouth Cruz supporter on FreeRepublic, because, at that time, I didn’t trust Trump to mean what he said given his past.

However, both Trump and Cruz proved me wrong!

Cruz proved he was more of a brittle, self-serving politician vs. a sincere conservative by his actions.

Trump proved he was, and is, the sincere, and authentic conservative.

Fox never mentions Trump in a positive way, anytime.

They mention negative things said ABOUT him in their pathetic attempt to fool the Neanderthals that they're fair and balanced.

Unless Fox, not Kudlow, actually says otherwise he is in fact banned from Fox...all hours of the day.

Lou Dobbs was fired from Fox a long time ago—sadly.

I was a Cruz supporter until Trump came down the excalator and said what I was thinking.

Then Cruz pulled the voter shaming letter BS in Iowa and that was that.
