President Trump is not happy with the leftist turn Fox News has taken under the leadership of James [Libertarian] and Lachlan Murdoch [leftist] who are both married, especially James, to leftist women.
Trump spoke with C-Span and explained that he has to tweet to defend against the fake news. He was recently frustrated by John Roberts, an ex-CNN reporter when he spent nearly an entire segment, interviewing one anti-Trump protester.
At a recent rally, instead of the important issues he raised during his speech, like the economy and immigration reform, Roberts interviewed one angry person.
âThere was one protester who stood upâĤhe held up a sign and he said whatever,â Trump recounted. âAnd it was on Fox with John Roberts. He talked about the protester for almost an entire segment of that. And I said, âIsnât that a shame?â One guy stands up, not an impressive person. He stood up and he got all of this attention. He took the whole thing away. One person.â
A study from the Harvard Shorenstein Center on Media Politics analyzed news coverage of the Presidentâs first 100 days. They found that Fox News was the most balanced. That was in 2017 and if they were to study it now, Fox would be less balanced. As Bill O’Reilly said last night on his podcast, the people at Fox are not conservatives, they’re liberals [and leftists].
At the time, CNN’s Berman actually lied and said the coverage by Fox was overwhelmingly positive. They even monkeyed with the graph to make Fox’s coverage 67% favorable.
As Trump said, if he was treated fairly by the media, he wouldn’t have to tweet.
âIf I got fair coverage I wouldnât even have to tweet. Itâs my only form of defense,â Trump said. âIf the press covered me fairly I wouldnât even need that, but they donât cover me fairlyâĤCNN is 100% negative. NBC is negative.â
