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!”

Ha!So Rupert Murdochs Haroer Collins Publishings owned by NewsCorp is the publisher for Ron DeSantis new “book” and they are highlighting him/his book on his companies shows. Mmmmmm...... isn’t that a campaign violation?
Mark Levine, Brian Kilmeade, Fox News have zero credibility.

“... isn’t that a campaign violation?”

It might be considered an in-kind donation. I don’t know all the ins and outs of the rules — which the RINOs and RATs ignore, anyhow.

“Fox News have zero credibility.”

Which was “in your face” Nov. 3, 2020.

I wasn’t talking about the mandate.

The vax is a failure. The truth is being let out so they can blame trump.

Re: 112 - Sorry, Lt. That’s not the way it apparently works for the majority of posters on this thread.

Based on their posts, it’s reasonable to conclude that they want an echo chamber that confirms to their worldview. Anything that deviates from that view is considered foreign, bought off, etc, etc.

“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.”

In the long run, probably. Swamp creatures have allowed all of the other things to occur. Swamp creatures will continue to do that. DeSantis’ supporters ... they’re not our friends.

You sound like a typical Democrat, i.e., only observing the here-and-how, but unable to use logic to see the future.

The hardest part is dealing with the fact that most were right when they said he was a loud mouthed idiot.

Thank you for the incoherent response.

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

So his donors are more important in your evaluation that what he says and does. Okay.

De Santis sure didn’t tell Trump that when he needed help getting to be Governator and he sought out Trump for help.

I find this is a negative mark on De Santis character.

“It was a schmoozevfest. Fox adores RDS”

Fact and statistic show Trump has received more coverage. Trump is being pathetic to complain about this. He is going after Fox to try and throw dirt on DeSantis. This is not the character of a great leader.

Fox would never call Az the minute the polls close for any RDS opponent the way they’re schmoozing him.

No sale

I agree with Trump

No. Ron DeSantis would never violate any law. He is perfect

He is our Zelig. Our Ken doll. We project all our expectations onto him. He is a well-behaved Trump. He’s going to fix all of dc corruption and be polite about it so he’ll get cooperation from them

He’ll come up with the funding for his campaign from nice donors who hate Trump for knowing how corrupt they are

Well, do you think they would want to bankroll a candidate who actually opposes them? Get your head out of the sand. DeSantis has been given leeway to sucker in people like you. He did, after all, vote for TPP, (”something he did”} the trade agreement that would have ended American sovereignty completely.

I wouldn’t want it any other way.
I personally believe Trump ‘deserves’ the chance to run again, but sure he has to win the primaries, and I am pretty sure he will despite all the legal forces arraigned against him.

I will ask you a question.
What is your take on Trump having to not only fight his primary challengers but also the DOJ in the retaking of the presidency. Never has a candidate had to fight off the whole Deep State, all the forces at the behest of this corrupt government regime as well as the rhinos and international globalists and tech and media.

Only Donald J. Trump can endure all that and still prevail. Yes, he has to earn all those delegates to the convention, but this fight is anything but fair. I know. nothing is fair in life, but nothing has ever been this rigged.
