Trump targets Fox News for ‘promoting’ DeSantis ‘so hard and so much
The Hill ^ | 02-27-2023 | DOMINICK MASTRANGELO

Posted on 02/27/2023 10:52:23 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Trump renewed his attacks on Fox News this week, accusing the network of underplaying a new poll showing him with a double-digit lead on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a potential 2024 Republican presidential primary match-up.

Trump, in reference to the Fox News poll published Sunday that showed him leading DeSantis by 15 points in a hypothetical match-up, knocked the media giant for “promoting” DeSantis “so hard and so much that there’s not much time left for Real News.”

“Reminds me of 2016 when they were pushing ‘JEB!’ The new Fox Poll, which have always been purposely terrible for me, has ‘TRUMP Crushing DeSanctimonious,’ but they barely show it,” Trump wrote. “Isn’t there a big, beautiful, Network which wants to do well, and make a fortune besides? FAKE NEWS!”

I see; Fox and how they report on DeSantis is more important than Ukraine, inflation, the border, China infiltrating this country, Iran, North Korea and so forth. Thanks for enlightening us.

As usual, a DeSanctimonious Supporter steps up and either leaves out crucial context in order to understand an issue where Trump is concern, or twists the issue into a logic pretzel.

If a so-called "Conservative" News source, like FoxNews, picks a sides and shades the truth, leaves out crucial information for understanding an issue, reports only the positive issues where one candidate is concerned, and limits the reporting positive issues where the other candidate is concerned, or hides completely something like Vote Fraud that is central to the issues of one candidate, then yes Dufus, it is one of the central issues of the day.

These choices that FoxNews, who purports they are objective to both sides (FALSE), affects the very foundation of our electoral system.

Funny you would list the Ukraine as a central issue, as that whole war is none of our business and should be ended today.

And I do hope you actually do gain some enlightenment from this information.

“He has no idea what real life is like.”

You are either badly misinformed, don’t care what the truth is, blind or agenda driven to the point of ignoring reality.

“the three cable TV networks — including MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News — mentioned Trump 4,894 times the first five weeks of the year, compared to just 852 times for DeSantis. On Fox News from Jan. 1 through Feb. 5, Trump held an edge of 836 mentions to 244 mentions for DeSantis.”

What? You are relying on those nasty facts?/sarc

Only an idiot would deny he is running given everything we know today.

“Looks like Jeb and Paul both want to on a DeSantis ticket.”

It is blatantly obvious to anyone who doesn’t have an agenda that this is not to promote DesSantis, but to oppose Trump.

“And you sound like a whiny bitch.”

Name calling voids any reasonable thought. Ditto for Trump. Who really thinks DeSantis is an average governor, RINO and Globalist? Yes? Point out what he has done to support that view.

Trump is right, FOX is doing exactly that. I guess the way some here have been employing to shut Trump up is to use this issues issues issues nonsense. LOL

He isn’t allowed to speak unless it is only about issues.

Frankly we are headed for the next train wreck in 2024 if we are still breathing by then.

“I think you are the monkey. A drunk monkey who is making no sense.”

Thanks, that was the best retort I have received in a long time. Be well.

You might listen to Mark Levin or Maria Bartiromo instead of following the Only Trump crowd.

Anyone with two brain cells to rub together should be able to consume news from a variety of sources and determine what you believe through your own filters.

If anyone is watching any news service these days without a very skeptical filter, they are idiots.

Of course. Doesn't discount what I said about Fox.

Trump is focused on issues. No one has put out more policy proposals than he has.

If DeSantis can't stand the heat, he should make it clear he won't run.

Why would he go after Democrats when he has to win the primary first? No candidate does that unless they are the incumbent and have no real competition.

“Name calling voids any reasonable thought.”

You mean when Jesus called the Pharisees snakes in the grass, he was void of reasonable thought?

“Who really thinks DeSantis is an average governor?”

I said nothing at all about him being governor. In fact, I said nothing at all about DeSantis?

“RINO and Globalist? Yes? Point out what he has done to support that view.”

He is being given tremendous amounts of campaign cash from Wall Street America-first haters and globalists, and he is heartily praised by Jeb!.

“Rupert Murdoch is a godless and amoral person who will do anything to earn profits. DeSantis is his chosen puppet.”

“Murdoch’s Dominion ‘Admission’ Is His Calculated Way of Neutering His Pro-Trump Fox Anchors, or FIRING Them.”
