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!”

Trump is right to point out how Fox is trying to manipulate its audience.

Yup Fox is clearly trying to manipulate the audience. That's the supposed fair and balanced Fox.

And we have people on this thread who are fine with that.

Reminds me of CNN and their audience.

Its a personal issue.

Nope, goes to the central issue of fair and equal coverage.

But you knew that, didn't you!?

So what? Neither you nor Trump can change it and bitching about it won’t help anything. Not one person is gonna say, “oh because Murdock is bad I’m voting for Trump”.

And yet here you are bitching about what Trump is bitching about.

Hey Trump, instead of attacking Fox, why aren’t you helping them in their lawsuit against Dominion? Or helping anyone in any of the lawsuits against Dominion?

Trump is right and also a multi-tasker. I love that he fights his own battles and put his name on everything. No hiding behind influencers, media personalities and fake conservative web sites to fight his battles. Unlike Ron the Con.

Unfortunately DeSantis has done more to oppose liberalism and wokeness than you have, Don. Still doubling down on the vaxxes, eh?

If Trump get the nomination I’ll vote for him. Ditto DeSantis. All this sniping does Don no good. It’s pointless.

“ Fox will continue their routine with Pussy Paul Ryan on their board of directors. Looks like Jeb and Paul both want to on a DeSantis ticket.”

You’d be a better judge of that than me… I only watch Tucker and Gutfeld on FNC.

At least Trump doesn't compliment and invite to his conference the lawyer and partner of the law firm that is representing Dominion.

That's DeSantis.

Trump’s belittlement turns me off too, but I’m still going to vote for him.
I hate the last election was stolen from him. Trump deserves his justice.
What is wrong with Trump for four years and then DeSantis for eight?

I’d like to see a Trump/Lake ticket. Justice for both.

He’s trying to focus on raising money but all the big donors who came through for Trump’s last two races are sitting on their wallets waiting for DeSantis to declare.

This is making him very agitated.

He canceled a fundraising event at Mar-A-Lago this past weekend because nobody was going to show. Meanwhile, DeSantis courted many of Trump’s former donors at a fundraising event of his own just a few miles away.

“Dear Donald: STHU, SMH, just stop it. You’re acting like a jealous 15 year old, STOP.”

And you sound like a whiny bitch.

Murdoch has made it clear to his propagandists that the Republican party must be a party dedicated to corporate oligarchs. All blue-collar conservatism must be destroyed.

Jeb endorsing DeSantis could not make it more clear that the establishment is trying to destroy MAGA.

That's a fair point, however that lawyer was not there representing Dominion, and she has typically represented conservatives like James O'Keefe and Sarah Palin.

Hey, I want to see all electronic voting done away with, so why is Trump hanging Rudy and the others out to dry on the Dominion lawsuits?

Trump won't even mention the word Dominion, and had Lindell attack DeSantis over it, when Trump himself attacks DeSantis over every other little piddly thing. Why is that?

“ONCE they are out of the way he WILL focus on the issues.”

I hear him all the time, he is focusing on the issues, and a lying MSM just happens to be an issue. Remember the early early Arizona call and the late late Florida and Texas call by Fox?

Yep. Murdoch has specialized for decades in using vague promises of money and sex to deceive working people into supporting his globalist agenda.

These people hate Trump and always have. The mask is back off again and yet some people refuse to see what’s right in front of them.

Not sure who wins the “Thin Skin Award” for 2022-2023.

I thought it might be Harry or Meghan, but Trump might be coming up on the outside...
