Fox News Banning Trump From Network

The New York Times reported Friday that Fox News has not had Donald Trump on its network in over 100 days, which the paper said was part of a larger strategy to eliminate the former president as a major GOP player.

Trump's last appearance on Fox News came April 13 on "Hannity." But, The Times noted, even Trump has complained his longtime friend "doesn't seem to be paying him much attention anymore." The paper said Trump believes Fox's strategy of shunning him is an effort in "effectively displacing him" from the news cycle and as de facto leader of the Republican Party.

The decision to shun Trump has been made at "the highest levels" of Fox's parent company, and is backed by its billionaire chairman, Rupert Murdoch, and his son, company CEO Lachlan Murdoch. Both are Republicans, but are said to have to developed a strong distaste for Trump.

Earlier this month, the Murdoch-owned newspapers the New York Post and The Wall Street Journal published harsh rebukes of Trump's actions regarding Jan. 6 while strongly opposing a Trump bid for president in 2024. The Times said Trump's failure to accept the 2020 election result was at the root of the Murdochs' criticism of the former president, a view shared by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

Yes. Interesting.

I wonder how old that photo is. He’s been looking very fit at his recent rallies.

Fox News was in on the Big Steal.

That’s why they don’t want anyone questioning it.

I gave up the NFL cold turkey when the NFL did nothing about that turkey and I was born a Packer fan 35 miles from Lambeau Field.

I only watch Tucker on Fix News, TV goes off promptly at 9:00 pm.
Hannity has been unwatchable for years.
I used to like Laura, but she’s becoming more Bush League by the day.

Haven’t watched Fox news in well over a year, possibly two

Makes no difference to me. Haven’t watched FoxNews since 2016 or so. RINO Ryan and the rest of them leave me cold. Hope Tucker takes his show elsewhere; his opener is the only thing I watch, occasionally, on video the next day. Otherwise, I don’t miss any of it.

President Trump can just post press releases and video on the White House web site and bypass the media entirely .

Actually, faux.com is the website of a decorator called Barth White, who seems to specialize in painting walls in artificial marble, stone, wood etc. looks. No news on that website.

I hope I live long enough to see Fox go down in flames!!! When President Trump gets his rightful place back in the Oval I have a feeling more Conservative outlets will be the main source for news in the future.......

Yeah, Biden is in better shape than Trump.

Oh, and two negative GDP numbers does not indicate a recession.

Fox pooped all over Trump when they declared a Biden Victory in Arizona with only 1% of the vote was counted. Fox refused to call Florida for Trump hours later even though it was a blowout for Trump.

Fox has not shown one of Trump’s rallies. Not one!

I had to stop watching Varney because of his anti-Trump attitude.

They covered Pence’s DC speech but not Trumps’s.

I say it’s time to boycott those bastards again...

If you’re still watching Fox News, there may be no hope for you.

I was never a fan of Fox News. I did watch. religiously. Fox Business.

On November 4th, 2020 I did NOT tune in.

Now, both Foxes are not allowed in the house... as the Nanny would say...NEVAH!
