Trump gives up on Fox News

No idea what triggers this.

[C_U_L8R]

1. Plan B

After losing the election, he'll try to launch Trump TV

[Whiskeytide]

11. And it will have ...

... 30m automatic, 24/7 cult viewers. I think this was trump's plan after the 2016 election he expected to lose.

[NCDem47]

39. At $70 a month for a subscription lining his and his horrible children's pockets

[Whiskeytide]

62. Hopefully they'll need the money ...

... for lawyers.

[Maru Kitteh]

41. This is my thought as well. He'll need a revenue stream for all the legal expenses.

[calguy]

54. From prison?

[aggiesal]

55. NaziTV n/t

[C_U_L8R]

58. Not See Tee Vee

They'll barely disguise it

[aggiesal]

65. Bravo ...

[Martin Eden]

61. Trump TV? No. An insider source tells me it will be called ...

… Pravda USA.

[Thomas Hurt]

2. the fascist pig demands his own Ministry of Truth

[Newest Reality]

51. ++Good!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. "Fox isn't working for us anymore."

"We have to start looking for a new News Outlet." This is some scary shit, when the president, such as he is, complains that the network that kisses his ass every day isn't kissing it enough and that therefore he must find an even more obedient mouthpiece.

[empedocles]

22. Scary yes. We know trump will expoit anything he can get his hands on.

Scarier yet, the trump limits will be primarily set by public opinion - and this Friday night news splash, for the general public, seems to be more of an information trickle down occurrence. The trump support erosion will take time.

[Meadowoak]

28. Try RT

[Maru Kitteh]

44. At some upcoming time yet unknown, Russia will turn on him. When he is truly useless to them.

Or, conversely, it becomes more valuable to them to cut his legs out from under and weaken him.

[Kaiserguy]

46. One America News

or Right-wing nut job inc. it makes Fox look like a halfway sane news site.

[gratuitous]

34. I take that to mean that up until now, Fox has been working for the administration

"Liberal" media, my sweet Aunt Fanny.

[Yonnie3]

4. I don't know the trigger, but he has already plugged the One America News Network.

I've heard that as far as Right Wing propaganda goes they have left Fox "News" in the dust.

I haven't ventured to their website or satellite channel yet. Maybe never.

ETA: The WIKI for OANN is interesting though

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_America_News_Network

[dalton99a]

9. "One America" as in Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer

[Yonnie3]

12. Just a coinkydink

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. My right wing MIL used to watch OANN when their cable system carried it.

From what I gathered of it, their morning programming was quite subdued....basically just a run-down of national and international news stories from wire services.

But then you had their evening programming....which was nothing short of batshit insane.

The only specific thing I could remember was one of their hosts named Graham Ledger, who I overheard insisting that it was a "proven, undisputed fact" that Bill Clinton was a "rapist."

[Yonnie3]

32. If the morning show is subdued, is it suitable for his morning executive time?

I suppose his ego could be stroked in a subdued manner ...

I think, in reality, he is just trying to influence Fox "News" programming using his subtle powers of persuasion.

[FoxNewsSucks]

23. I've seen it in hotels a couple times

It is hard-core extreme-far-right propaganda.

53. Minitrue TV!

We are on our way, day by day, fullwise.

Thanks for the link. This deserves a gander.

[Duppers]

66. I think the trigger was truthful reporting of his poll #s

He can't cope with being beaten by Democratic candidates.

[dalton99a]

5. Read: "I don't want to Win for the people, I only want to Win for myself."

[NewJeffCT]

6. womp womp

poor widdle baby

[Eyeball_Kid]

7. Trumpy must have had a really messy morning shart.

KellyAnn was in the kitchen looking for a cinnamon roll, and wasn't available for clean-up. Trumpy's ballooning round ass meant that he couldn't reach down far enough to do it himself. So while he was waiting for other staff to tend to his needs, his fingers went into a flurry and we end up with this happy tweet.

It means nothing, folks.

[FoxNewsSucks]

17. I wonder whose job it is

to wipe his ass. Whether he can reach it or not, you know he thinks that's a job for the servants.

[Wounded Bear]

8. Sniff, sniff...I smell...

[struggle4progress]

10. "And remember! Trump Doral is the best site for the G7 (soon to be G8)!"

[dalton99a]

13. No bedbugs - no collusion - no bedbugs - no collusion

[struggle4progress]

21. !

[panader0]

25. There's a bumper sticker!

[Mopar151]

14. Trying to put Faux "back on track" n/t

[kentuck]

15. Trump cannot win without FOX News...

Anybody notice any difference in FOX coverage?

[procon]

16. Did he get more bad numbers from a Fox poll?

He was whining about the last one like he expected Fox to rig rheir own polls to make him look better than he actually is.

[empedocles]

18. Interesting to know by inference from trump's twitter - fox commiting at least a

little factual reporting - to its audiences.

[fox seems to have been hedging a bit for awhile].

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

20. Fox must have seen it

CRISIS AT THE BORDER headlines

Deputy press secretary Gidley

"Puerto Rico misused the last aid sent"

Yea bur not one word on this tweet.

[brooklynite]

24. Apparently, it's the Quinnipiac Poll

[Goodheart]

35. Oh, Brit... are we supposed to take you seriously?

LOL

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

36. Awww, that's adorable! Hume pretending to have some dignity left. nt

[paleotn]

42. Sure, Brit....

Like you haven't been doing precisely that for every Rethug since Fox went on the air.

[empedocles]

27. MSNBC running 3 trump texts complaining on fox

[captain queeg]

29. I guess they wouldn't fire Wallace and Smith for him.

[NoMoreRepugs]

30. Congressional hearings, NY AG investigations, SDNY investigations and more...

All are ratcheting up the pressure on an already over-filled gasbag...... King tRumpy is going to only get more erratic and desperate.

[The Genealogist]

31. He is at once evil and pathetic

Pathetic because he actually expects a network to work FOR him, evil because he DEMANDS it.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

33. The Donald does not like being FACT-Checked all the time....

NewsMax TV, which is a pay for channel on most Cable and Sattelite plans, seems more Trump friendly.

[tblue37]

37. A Democratic spokesperson on FOX pointed out that all of our top candidates are beating him

in the polls.

[struggle4progress]

38. "Don't watch TV! The White House will beam all future news directly to your dental fillings!"

[CanonRay]

40. Wait. Wait. I know.....

Trump TV! What do you want to bet?

[paleotn]

43. Well, there's always The Blaze.

[BadgerMom]

45. He has stock in Sinclair? Or RT?

[ehrnst]

47. They said on the air that he couldn't order U.S. companies to stop doing business with China

Because "free markets."

That must've caused him some hemmorhoids.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

52. He *is* a hemorrhoid. He's a pain in everybody's ass.

[samnsara]

48. he just needs to go away and i dont care how..

[nolabear]

49. Whoee! That's one bad breakup. Maybe Taylor Swift can write him a song.

[LibDemAlways]

50. Trump wants a government run Republican

propaganda channel that worships Trump as head mucky muck and provides no independent thought whatever. As horrible as Fox is, it doesn't quite meet his standards.

[Amimnoch]

56. Surprised he didn't plug AON.

That station is 100% Cheetolini propaganda news 24/7. Of course, I base this on about 10 minutes of watching when someone changed it to that channel in my break room, but the only thing missing from the set was a golden statue of the Cheeto.

[Doodley]

57. He is preparing the ground to launch his own fake news outlet when he resigns.

[SayItLoud]

59. SUNCLAIR

Will be his conspiracy partner.

[OldManTarHeel]

60. Won't Faux News be Much Better Once Sarah Suckass Suckabee Joins the Network . .

She'll get it fixed I'm certain of it.

[OliverQ]

63. But will Fox turn on him? I doubt it.

[myohmy2]

64. well, boo hoo...

...they must have hurt el trumpo's feelings...

...understandable...

...it's a well known and proven fact that faux news is a fake news outlet infested with Communists...
