Trump has told advisers that he thinks Fox should be “loyal” to the his White House…

Keep it up douchebag. Keep attacking your propaganda outlet. They’ll come around…

Jarred should be made the head of Fox News, since it is GOP TV shouldn’t the head of the GOP control who runs it. This should solve all of the issues.

BTW Fuck Trump!

I’m pretty sure that FoxNews would say that it’s the White House that should show loyalty … to FoxNews.

And yes, Fuck Trump!

As the saying goes - in DC, if you want loyalty, get a dog.

If I’m not mistaken, I believe Shep Smith is the head news editor over there. Perhaps what Shep should do is hold a rare Fox Editorial and set a few things straight, making it clear just what is fact and what is Trump fantasy. He needs to step on Shawn Hannity’s and Laura Ingraham’s toes here, drawing a very clear permanent marker line between the news division (facts only) and entertainment (that should be obvious to even fifth graders).

Looks like someone forgot the stop the ripples in Narcissi’s pond.

If I won the Lottery, I’d buy ads on Fox News just to be 30 seconds of a black screen with the words “World knows that Trump’s an idiot” and every variation I can think of.

Take away his haven and make him miserable as F**. Seems like a noble cause to me.

I saw a clip of the “bar scene” minutes after it occurred. I wondered at the time — still do — why the producers didn’t suddenly “lose the feed”?

Not only did they let it continue, the reporter then interviewed the guy who’d started the chant, and who promptly yells “Get that racist out of the White House!”

Good times.

Oh, and as always: Fuck Trump!

billionaire Jeffrey Epstein who was just charged with sex trafficking underage girls

Trump is probably resentful that Epstein never invited him to one of his “parties”… how do we know that he wasn’t? Because if he had, “John Barron” would have bragged about it to the reporters of Page Six of the NY Post.

Um, Trump, Fox has been around for decades before your russia-fueled run, and will still be there after you’re gone (alas).

At minimum you thought the audio would have been cut SIMPLY due to cursing on air.

But that producer clearly felt the graphic language was essential to the story :wink:

A woman who was an ‘early teen’ at the time said Trump ‘was’ at one of those parties where he had sex with her (because of her age 14/15 it was rape by the standards of ‘then’ AND ‘now’); she was suing Trump but due to numerous death threats to her and her family she dropped the case. BUT there is no statute of limitations on this kind of charge.

So, yeah, I’d like to see Gloria Allred and Lisa Bloom chew on HIM for a while.
