Trump was not happy with Fox News this past weekend and made it known last night in a series of tweets complaining about their weekend anchors:
Watching @FoxNews weekend anchors is worse than watching low ratings Fake News @CNN, or Lyin’ Brian Williams (remember when he totally fabricated a War Story trying to make himself into a hero, & got fired. A very dishonest journalist!) and the crew of degenerate……

…..Comcast (NBC/MSNBC) Trump haters, who do whatever Brian & Steve tell them to do. Like CNN, NBC is also way down in the ratings. But @FoxNews, who failed in getting the very BORING Dem debates, is now loading up with Democrats & even using Fake unsourced @nytimes as….

…a “source” of information (ask the Times what they paid for the Boston Globe, & what they sold it for (lost 1.5 Billion Dollars), or their old headquarters building disaster, or their unfunded liability? @FoxNews is changing fast, but they forgot the people who got them there!

While I don’t watch Fox News like I used to, I honestly think what Trump is seeing here has more to do with the post-Ailes management of Fox News than anything else. They’ve been going down hill since he was forced out years ago for sexual harassment and the Murdoch family took it over directly.
Trump continued later last night:
Impossible to believe that @FoxNews has hired @donnabrazile, the person fired by @CNN (after they tried to hide the bad facts, & failed) for giving Crooked Hillary Clinton the questions to a debate, something unimaginable. Now she is all over Fox, including Shep Smith, by far….

….their lowest rated show. Watch the @FoxNews weekend daytime anchors, who are terrible, go after her big time. That’s what they want – but it sure is not what the audience wants!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 8, 2019
I feel like we just stepped back in time, as Brazile has been with Fox News since March of this year.
In any event, Trump clearly believes Fox News is abandoning the conservative niche that got them here in the first place – at least on the weekends. But we all know he’s still a big fan of Fox News prime time with Tucker and Hannity, so I doubt he’ll stop watching.
