Fox News Stars Push Back as Trump Demands Loyalty: We Don’t ‘Work for You’

Several Fox News personalities pushed back Wednesday against President Donald Trump after he escalated his public attacks on the right-leaning outlet for its occasional anti-Trump voices.


In the middle of a typically chaotic tweetstorm spurred on by his morning TV viewing habits, the president took aim at Fox News anchor Sandra Smith for bringing on the Democratic National Committee’s communications director, Xochitl Hinojosa, to discuss the upcoming Democratic primary debate.

“Just watched @FoxNews heavily promoting the Democrats through their DNC Communications Director, spewing out whatever she wanted with zero pushback by anchor, @SandraSmithFox,” Trump tweeted on Wednesday. “Terrible considering that Fox couldn’t even land a debate, the Dems give them NOTHING! @CNN & @MSNBC are all in for the Open Border Socialists (or beyond).”

Besides blasting the America’s Newsroom co-anchor, Trump went after a few other Fox News stars who he has recently singled out.

“Fox hires ‘give Hillary the questions’ @donnabrazile, Juan Williams and low ratings Shep Smith. HOPELESS & CLUELESS! They should go all the way LEFT and I will still find a way to Win - That’s what I do, Win,” he wrote. “Too Bad!”

The president concluded by complaining that Fox News was “letting millions of GREAT people down” and that he needs to “start looking for a new News Outlet” since the one-time channel “isn’t working for us anymore!”

Almost immediately after the president’s tweets, Fox News senior political analyst and former news anchor Brit Hume sounded off: “Fox News isn’t supposed to work for you,” he wrote.

Hume wasn’t the only conservative Fox star to fire back at the president. Fox News contributor and radio host Guy Benson essentially repeated Hume’s remarks: “We don’t work for you,” he stated.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

16. OANN is even worse than FOX

if that is even possible.

[Initech]

27. OANN is what state run TV would look like in a Trump dictatorship.

[Thekaspervote]

30. I've never heard of OANN, does it have ntl exposure? Won't give him the same exposure as fox?

Those are questions

[Thomas Hurt]

2. Silly Fox talking heads...this is Dear Leader Donnie demanding his ministry of truth.

[Newest Reality]

7. I hope they

can steer clear of any domestic violence. It was such a good relationship, but now it is becoming a rather torrid affair.

Faux finally decided to preserve some of the faux veracity they claim and use to obscure their incredible bias, huh? Trump goes too far out for even them? What a scathing indictment for General Skidmarks.

Who gets the kids?

11. Thanks to this...

I learned about this: OANN. I seem to have a fuzzy recollection of hearing about it before, but there is not much mainstream about it that I have seen so far.

This may be his new choice for a proto-Minitrue and who knows, it may get more exposure because of that.

It is on cable and satellite, which I no longer imbibe, and they have a website. Has anyone watched this channel?

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

Oh, and then there is the Sinclair Network, which we have heard about in regards to its policies and procedures

[Proud Liberal Dem]

17. I caught a bit of it last year

hanging out a Popeye's They are devoted Trumpists in terms of their news coverage.

[RAB910]

12. Best accidental and unintentional truth telling

Fox News was “letting millions of GREAT people down”

[gratuitous]

13. Hrrr, hrrr, hrrr

It's just precious to see Fox staffers trying to claim that they don't work for the Trump administration. They may not get a paycheck with Donald Trump's signature on it, but that's the only thing walling Fox off from the administration.

[kacekwl]

14. Waiting for hammity and sucker carlson

to follow Mr.Hume.

[Liberal In Texas]

15. I guess he'll be sucking up to One America or whatever that cesspool calls itself. n/t

[rurallib]

18. Sounds like Fox and OANN are in competition

to put the biggest wet smack on the presidential ass.

Competition is what makes America great.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. Fux Noise, our troops overseas

[NewJeffCT]

22. They don't work for Trump

they work for the RNC and the GOP

[OilemFirchen]

24. Howard Kurtz, King of Fair and Ace Bothsiderism Pitchman, comes out with both barrels blasting:

MediaBuzz host Howard Kurtz, a former Daily Beast columnist, also took a mild swing at the president’s criticism, writing, “our job is to cover both sides.”

You go, tiger!

[Yeehah]

25. The fuck you don't, assholes
