It seems even Fox News has gotten on the president’s bad side.
President Donald Trump went after the conservative news network Monday morning, writing on Truth Social that Fox spends too much time “defending Dumocrats” rather than covering Republicans.
“Fox spends more time defending Dumocrats, and putting on their views versus their Republican opponent, than at any time in the History of FoxNews,” Trump ranted.
The 80-year-old then encouraged his MAGA faithful to tune in to a different channel instead.
“It’s ridiculous! FoxNews is trying too hard to be Politically Correct!” Trump continued. “Watch my big Kansas Rally today on RSBN. Great early coverage! President DJT.”

Trump has had a love-hate relationship with Fox, owned by media tycoon Rupert Murdoch. While the president will praise the network when it provides positive coverage of his presidency, he will also lash out if Fox criticizes him or platforms his political opponents.
It’s not the first time Fox News has been the target of one of the president’s Truth Social meltdowns.
Earlier this month, Trump slammed the network for not broadcasting his rally in Ohio, which was part of a last-ditch effort to boost Republican turnout ahead of the midterm elections.
“Sad to see that Fox & Friends (Sunday) is not covering our packed house and incredibly enthusiastic (beyond!),” he said. “These Election Rallies were representative of what is really happening with our great Republican Party.”

Trump took issue with the fact that Fox has interviewed left-wing Democrats, including Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.
“Fox spends more time talking to Communists, Socialists, and Dumocrats, often without rebuttal, and MAGA is not, to put it mildly, happy,” Trump said last month. “We don’t like stupid Jessica Tarlov, and all of the others, that are forced down MAGA’S throats.”
He also criticized Fox’s removal of Maria Bartiromo, who has been a longtime supporter of the president.
“These Rallies are the hottest things out there, tremendous love in those sold-out arenas, and nothing shows up on Fox!” he said. “Also, phenomenal ratings for those that properly report. Who makes these decisions at Fox News? Probably the same loser that fired the great Maria Bartiromo because she complained about not being allowed to cover ‘TRUMP.’”
Trump has taken an increasingly more antagonistic approach to the press in recent months. Last month, Fox sided with the networks Trump banned from the White House because he didn’t like their coverage, including more left-leaning CNN, MS NOW and Politico.
