Former President Donald Trump is going after Fox News, accusing them of “pushing the Democrats and the Democrat agenda.”
The former president took to his platform to express his frustration with the network.
“Gets worse every single day. So many Dems interviewed with only softball questions, then Republican counterparts get creamed. RINO Karl Rove is unwatchable, very negative, and on all the time – Has a big record of losing!” Trump wrote.
He added, “Not an easy place to be as a Republican, especially with all of the ‘pervert’ purchased ads. If ‘low ratings’ CNN ever went Conservative, they would be an absolute gold mine, and I would help them to do so!”

On July 29, The New York Times reported that it had been more than 100 days since Fox News interviewed Trump.
Two people who had spoken to Trump told the Times that the network’s “ignoring him is an affront far worse than running stories and commentary that he has complained are ‘too negative,'” as the outlet reported.
Just days before the report, Trump blasted “Fox & Friends” over the show’s treatment of his poll numbers.
“ just really botched my poll numbers, no doubt on purpose. That show has been terrible – gone to the ‘dark side.’ They quickly quote the big Turning Point Poll victory of almost 60 points over the number two Republican, and then hammer me with outliers,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
He continued, “Actually, almost all polls have me leading all Republicans and Biden BY A LOT. RINO Paul Ryan, one of the weakest and worst Speakers EVER, must be running the place. Anyway, thank you to Turning Point, the crowd and ‘love’ was AMAZING!”
Last week, ABC News pointed out that CNN is working to become more balanced and friendly to Republicans.
Carol Costello, a former anchor at the network, told ABC News, “CNN has to figure out what it wants to be.”
Last month, CNN announced that “Reliable Sources” host Brian Stelter’s show is being canceled, as IJR reported.
“CNN will end its ‘Reliable Sources’ program on Sunday, August 21st. As a result Brian Stelter will leave the company. We appreciate his contributions to the network and wish him well as he embarks on new endeavors,” a spokesperson for the network said at the time.
On Friday, it was reported that veteran White House correspondent John Harwood was leaving CNN.
The Post noted that some network insiders saw it as more proof of a political shift at the outlet.
