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.
Trump has not hidden his new distaste for Fox News.

Bret Baier’s a phony asswipe.
Hannity ran out of talking points when Rush died. Hannity ripped off veterans charities several years ago demanding YUGE speaking fees and private nets. Hannity is an actor nothing more.
Fox News eliminated itself as any sort of ‘Player’ for me 4 years ago or so. It might even be 5 years, I can't recall.
So, Trump shits all over Fox. Then when Fox decides they don’t need that on their own shows, they freeze him out…that is a Fox conspiracy?
The logic of the Trump-cult is fascinating.
Trump should have used his off time to lose weight. This would have shown seriousness. Today I saw photos of Trump at his NJ golf club tournament. He is heftier than ever. Mike Pompeo, secretary of state, used his Covid time lose lots of flab. Look at his recent photos

Horrible people while America is sold out.
Give up on Fox I’m sick of the repetition anyway.
Haven’t watched National Felons League for years.
pfffft...
No, that’s not what happened
Fox News?
Are they still on?
He looks emaciated.
I have seen no pics of Trump with excessive weight gain. And even a wide swath of the media has commented on how healthy he looks, in fact.
Maybe a crapload of Kevlar in case a loony leftie gets crazy[er] ideas??
Contrast glowing, happy, coherent Trump to pResident Slender Man.
When they report GOP primary polls people are going to start wondering why all the polls are only adding up to 35%
I think the big networks and newspapers are being kept alive by very old people - in about ten years they will have a rude awakening as their entire audience passes away.
You can tell by the advertisements who is watching - nothing but old people pharmaceuticals, reverse mortgage schemes, retirement plans, etc..
“RSBN is becoming the go to Trump channel”
Also, Real America’s Voice (RAV) has some excellent pro-Trump programming. I watch from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. It’s growing strong. Screw the “legacy” BS. I have a feeling they’ll be sorry about this decision. Very sorry.
Today I saw photos of Trump at his NJ golf club tournament.
A good friend of mine was there just yesterday, and sent me a phone video he took of President Trump from about 10 feet away walking by slowly and pressing flesh. He looked great.
Piss off troll.
“Even this won’t be enough to get most conservatives to walk away.”
We already did. 11/4/2020.
Agreed. I have been watching OANN for the past 7 years (or so). Consistently pro-American and pro-Trump. None of the woke and other propaganda blather spewed by the other networks.
