President Donald Trump can not stand even the slightest criticism. Fox News never veers far from conservative talking points — at most, they frequently simply ask for explanations from the Trump administration and its allies — but this weekend, for whatever particular reason, Trump freaked out on Twitter with a rabid proclamation that it’s time for true Trump followers to abandon Fox — or something. Again, Fox is rarely if ever “critical” of the president’s positions on issues. He apparently just refuses to stand for even the slightest questioning.
He tweeted:
‘@FoxNews just doesn’t get what’s happening! They are being fed Democrat talking points, and they play them without hesitation or research. They forgot that Fake News @CNN & MSDNC wouldn’t let @FoxNews participate, even a little bit, in the poor ratings Democrat Debates… No respect for the people running @FoxNews… The people who are watching @FoxNews , in record numbers (thank you President Trump), are angry. They want an alternative now. So do I!’
Trump also complained about — among other topics — Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace, Fox News board member and former U.S. House speaker Paul Ryan, and more.
Amidst the pandemic, it seems — quite simply — like Trump is demanding total loyalty if those in his political circles don’t get want to have their names publicly dragged through the mud while facing threats to get essentially blacklisted by Trump’s mobs. In an ideal world, while thousands of Americans die each and every day due to the Coronavirus, the president of the United States would be seeking to fulfill the supply and support needs of authorities on the front lines across the country. Instead, Trump appears to be trying to consolidate political control of the GOP ahead of the November elections.
After the above, Trump claimed that reports suggesting Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar would soon be out of the job were fake news, adding that members of the media supposedly “are desperate to create the perception of chaos & havoc in the minds of the public” — which sounds like Trump is projecting.
Reports that H.H.S. Secretary @AlexAzar is going to be “fired” by me are Fake News. The Lamestream Media knows this, but they are desperate to create the perception of chaos & havoc in the minds of the public. They never even called to ask. Alex is doing an excellent job!

Check out Twitter’s response below…
Everyone's wrong except the clown-faced con-man who's lied ~20,000 times in three-plus years and whose raging malice and incompetence led to as much as a 90% increase in American COVID deaths. Yeah, he's the only one telling the truth. 🤨 https://t.co/MemmZHZGFN

You mean you’re mad that you think they don’t research “dem talking points,” but how can that be? You always seem so thrilled when they don’t research yours.
So, are you finally admitting Fox is a no-research, non-news channel?#FlushTheTurdNovember3rd https://t.co/Un3sELGUH9

Donald Trump has gone so far off of the rails that even Fox News won't defend him all of the time anymore. Let that sink in for a second. https://t.co/aXn3B2FKiG
