Donald Trump’s feud against Fox News is waging on but now he’s signaling his inclination to take this battle to court.
In a statement to his TRUTH Social, Trump threatened to sue Fox News for airing political ads produced by the anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project.
“The Perverts and Lowlifes of the Lincoln Project are back on, where else, Fox News. I thought they ran away to the asylum after their last catastrophic campaign, with charges made against them that were big time sleaze, and me getting many millions more votes in 2020 than I got in 2016,” Trump wrote. “The Paul Ryun (sic) run Fox only has high standards for “Trump” ads, but not for anyone else. The Perverts should not be allowed to “false advertise,” and Fox News should not allow it to happen. See you all in Court!!!”
Trump seems to be referencing former House Speaker Paul Ryan in his remark. Ryan left Congress in 2019 and joined the Fox Corporation board.
According to Mediaite:
Moreover, Fox News didn’t even sell a national advertising spot to The Lincoln Project, given the political advocacy group typically makes local ad buys through cable providers in, say, Palm Beach or Bedminster, New Jersey. (Update: Lincoln Project confirms that the ad that raised Trump’s ire ran “on cable news in Bedminster, NJ,” where Trump is currently residing. Fox News also confirmed to Mediaite that this was a local buy and they did not run a Lincoln Project ad.)
When reached for comment, Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson told Mediaite: “In 2020, The Lincoln Project took up a long-term free lease in Trump’s brain. His threat to sue the Lincoln Project today is like Trump himself; impotent, flabby, and pathetic.”
Watch NewsMax OK
And yet CNN is going the other way. They are starting to remove the lemmings of the left. Strange times…
LOL! Maybe Trump will start touting CNN. And then again…
I haven’t completely given up on FOX News but I am now tuning to NEWSMAX much more often. For years I tuned into FOX & FRIENDS, the FOX News morning broadcast. Now, that broadcast is nothing but fluff. A person would have to watch for an hour to get ten minutes of actual news. The hosts spend endless time on cooking shows, horse racing, auto racing, and new gadgets that most people probably don’t want and don’t need. FOX & FRIENDS has become more like a magazine show than a newscast. Maybe I shouldn’t complain: with my remote it is simple to flip the channel to NEWSMAX for the news.
The new media needs to start paying for fake new that can hurt people for life. I do believe in free speech but there is a point when things go to far.
I WAS A DEDICATED FOX NEWS WATCHER. NOW I ONLY WATCH HANNITY, THAT MIGHT BE GOING AWAY SOON ALSO. I WATCH AND TELL ALL MY FRIENDS TOO WATCH NEWSMAX NOW. THAT WHERE THEY TELL THE TRUTH ALL THE TIME,LIKE FOX NEWS USED TO BE
Who at Fox is against Trump? I haven’t heard of anyone, although I watch very little of that cannel.
