Trump defends Fox News hosts from attempt to 'silence' them

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Sunday defended Fox News hosts, warning that the Democrats and the "Fake News" media are trying to silence a majority of the country through a campaign against the network's conservative hosts.

"The Radical Left Democrats, working closely with their beloved partner, the Fake News Media, is using every trick in the book to SILENCE a majority of our Country. They have all out campaigns against @FoxNews hosts who are doing too well," he tweeted.

That was much too coherent and literate for Trump, though it did imitate his capitalizations and exclamation marks.

I also was wondering who are the people in Trump's circle who are feeding him and actually making policy. He doesn't have the time or attention span to do some of the things he is supposedly doing.

Maybe the Fox News Tweets were from Sean Hannity.

Though we would very much like credit for it.

It's fox news itself, faced with a revolt from corporate america via ad dollars.

No money, no bigotry. Sorry donnie babes, it's just bizness.

his trust funds. Apart from those, I think he is a fool. Pirrro? Well, I PAY my bills. She still owes vendors for costs from her failed run to defeat Hillary so long ago. Maybe that is what tRump admires, she is just like him. Screws over the "little people" while pretending to be wealthy. Too bad Carlson did not get himself a good education when he was younger. Too late now. He was likely one of those who had a mommy paying for his education while he just goofed off. Too dumb to pass the entrance exams. He should fade into obscurity, stop embarrassing his wife and kids.

What about Republican’s First Amendment rights to have prime time cable TV shows paid for by sponsors that don’t want to be associated with the program content? Read the Constitushum, Libtards!

IQ45 wants:

Freedom of the press for Faux News

IQ45 wants:

Shut down freedom of the press for NBC and SNL



OK, Donnie, why is one different from the other?

If you offer anything contrary, factual be damned, it's fake and you're an enemy and threat to da family. Melania admitted that if someone hurts Drumnph, he hurts them 10x more. Cornered Mob boss. Won't end well.

I don't watch TV for the inverse reasons that Trumpsky does. This drivel, as so much of his does, smacks of in-house propaganda coordination.
