Trump slams Fox News again, says it's not even watchable anymore: 'They forgot who got them where they are'

In a tweet, Trump also said that Fox News's coverage has become 'different' from four years ago

President Donald Trump once again slammed Fox News' coverage of his administration on Wednesday, July 30. He said that the network is unrecognizable as compared to its coverage style during the 2016 election cycle. Trump took to his Twitter handle to say, "I was on Air Force One flying to the Great State of Texas, where I just landed. It is AMAZING in watching @FoxNews how different they are from four years ago. Not even watchable. They totally forgot who got them where they are!" 

He shared his frustration regarding the network at around 12.58 pm EST after the news program, 'America’s Newsroom', hosted by Sandra Smith and the program, 'Outnumbered', aired on the network, reports Breitbart. 

Over the last few months, Trump has been very critical of Fox News and its coverage. On Sunday, July 26, he wrote, "The Lamestream Media, including @FoxNews, which has really checked out, is refusing to show what is REALLY going on in Portland, Seattle, and other places. They want the American public to believe that these are just some wonderful protesters, not radical left ANARCHISTS!"

He even called out ex-Republican speaker Paul Ryan for Fox News changing their stance and tone and running "suppression polls" which show him losing to presidential candidate Joe Biden. Trump had ran Twitter, "So the Washington Post is running the Reagan Foundation, and RINO Paul Ryan is on the Board of Fox, which has been terrible. We will win anyway, even with the phony @FoxNews suppression polls (which have been seriously wrong for 5 years)!"

Many social media users slammed Trump for his tweets and took to the comments section to express themselves. One such user shared, "MANIPULATING FOX NEWS (even from Air Force One!) Fox News has multiple presenters (e.g. Hannity, Carlson, Ingraham) who do Trump's bidding daily. But Trump is so narcissistic that if the network presents *any* factual news about him or Biden he doesn't like, he rants on Twitter!" 

Another commented, "Ok sweety here’s the thing.. they are possibly just now seeing Trump for what he truly is and dont want to get shit on their face when it all hits the fan." 

"It must be a really dark and scary place inside your head. Nobody else in the world touts themselves to the degree that you do. It tells me you know you are not good enough. You'll never be good enough. You will never be anything but the worst president we've ever had," a third user who echoed the same sentiments wrote. 

Back in April, Trump had attacked Fox News reporters during two coronavirus briefings that had taken place within just days of each other. In January, he unleashed another Twitter rant where he said that Fox News was "really pathetic" and "so politically correct" after anchor Chris Wallace discussed impeachment with Democrat Chris Van Hollen. Earlier this month, the POTUS boasted about how Fox had beat CNN in the ratings all thanks to "President Trump."
