President Donald Trump criticized two Fox News hosts in a Truth Social post, calling on network executives to remove one of them from the air.
Trump first responded to a “Fox News Sunday” interview with Democratic Rep. Jake Auchincloss of Massachusetts, accusing anchor Shannon Bream of failing to challenge what he described as false claims made by Democrats on her program. He also targeted Jessica Tarlov, a co-host of “The Five” and a liberal panelist who appears on the Sunday show, urging that she be taken off the air.
“Tell Shannon Bream of FoxNews that it’s not the Save Act, it’s the Save America Act, a big difference! Also, when she insists on having lightweight Democrat Congressmen, such as Jake Auchincloss, on her not very hard hitting show, she should correct them when they spew out Democrat propaganda and lies. She never does! I always close deals, unlike the Dems, and did great with China in every way, also, unlike the Dems!” Trump said.
“For Fox executives only, take Jessica Tarlov off the air. She is, from her voice, to her lies, and everything else about her, one of the worst “personalities” on television, a real loser! People cannot stand watching her. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump continued.
During the “Fox News Sunday” segment, Auchincloss said the war in Iran has been a “failure” and argued that it has given Iran leverage through its control of the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump has previously criticized Fox News, particularly after the network’s early projection that former President Joe Biden would win Arizona in the 2020 election. In a March appearance on “The Five,” Trump said he was not a fan of Tarlov, who frequently criticizes him on-air, and suggested the show would be better without her.
“I watch Jessica, and I’m not a fan,” Trump said. “And she uses fake numbers. She’ll give, ‘Well, he’s only polling 42%.’ That’s not right. Polling very high, actually.” He added criticism of “bad journalists” who write “fake stories,” before saying, “I’m sure I’d like her. I’m sure she’s a lovely person.”
Gee leader of the Free world asking for independent television stations to take their hosts and commentators off the air sounds like censorship to me.
The more Trump talks the more he’s sounding like a spoiled Democrat. Is that who he really is behind all that mega baloney? Are his true colors showing?
And I’m a Trump supporter
I doubt you really are a Trump supporter…
If you’re not sick and tired of constantly hearing the left’s complaining, whining, and untruths always being spewed about.
The left’s hypocrisy knows no bounds.
SORRY VKM – You ARE NOT A Trump Supporter. CBS, NBC, ABC Should Have Their FCC License Revoked. “The AirWaves Belong To The People” Not Those Monoplioes. All Those Stations Are Guilty Of Promoting LIES. Ex. Dan Rather & Others. WITH HOLDING The Whole Story – Which Changes The Narrative. They Also MAKE UP NEWS To Suit Their Agenda. Now via Jessica, it is Creeping into FOX NEWS.
Dump Tarlov minimum pain on The 5
I AM definitely a Trump supporter, but no one is always correct ( at least not in the last 2,000 +- years ). Sometimes his mouth overloads his back-end.
But he also does seem to be a bit thin skinned.
Just let these ‘news’ people lie and the shows ratings will ‘tell the story’.
As for Tarlov, I must admit that she IS annoying!
And she is mentally a ‘light weight’! She seems to not ‘have a clue’.
Remember that we do have the 1st Amendment … but that amendment does not shield anyone from them telling lies.
That’s when a court case ensues.
