President Donald Trump has accused Fox News of “pushing the Democrats and the Democrat agenda” and offered to help CNN become more conservative to counter Fox.
“Wow! Fox News is pushing the Democrats and the Democrat agenda. Gets worse every single day. So many Dems interviewed with only softball questions, then Republican counterparts get creamed. RINO Karl Rove is unwatchable, very negative, and always has a big record of losing!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Sunday.
“Not an easy place to be as a Republican, especially with all of the ‘pervert’ purchased ads. If ‘low ratings’ CNN ever went Conservative, they would be an absolute gold mine, and I would help them to do so!”
CNN has been under new leadership since Christ Licht has taken over as chairman and CEO.
Recently, CNN has made changes, and its White House correspondent John Harwood and “Reliable Sources” host Brian Stelter has left the network.
Many have interpreted these departures as the first steps in carrying out Licht’s plan to be less politically biased.
Meanwhile, many have noticed a cooled relationship between Trump and Fox.
Though Trump‘s idea of supporting a CNN switch to conservative coverage, he has been airing complaints about Fox for months.
“@foxandfriends just really botched my poll numbers, no doubt on purpose. That show has been terrible – gone to the ‘dark side.’ They quickly quote the big Turning Point Poll victory of almost 60 points over the number two Republican, and then hammer me with outliers,” Trump posted on Truth Social in July.
“Actually, almost all polls have me leading all Republicans & Biden BY A LOT. RINO Paul Ryan, one of the weakest and worst Speakers EVER, must be running the place. Anyway, thank you to Turning Point. The crowd & ‘love’ was AMAZING!” he added.
He has also continued criticizing the individuals of Fox, zeroing in on Rove.
“Karl Rove is the new Chris Stirewalt of the Paul Ryan run Fox News!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
I wonder how this will shake out?
