Is Trump trying to divide Fox News?

In this video image released by Fox News, President Trump is interviewed for “Fox & Friends” by Ainsley Earhardt on Aug. 22 at the White House.

On Tuesday, Fox Corp. began public trading as the new parent of Fox News, Fox Entertainment and Fox Sports; the company is the result of 21st Century Fox’s sale of its film and television assets to Disney Corp. The new company is headed by Lachlan Murdoch, the eldest son of Rupert Murdoch, who co-founded Fox News with Roger Ailes and remains a controlling shareholder in Fox.

His conversations with Pirro highlight the influence that certain Fox opinion hosts have over the president and he over them.Fox “must stay strong and fight back with vigor,” Trump wrote. “Stop working soooo hard on being politically correct, which will only bring you down, and continue to fight for our Country. The losers all want what you have, don’t give it to them. Be strong & prosper, be weak & die! Stay true. . . to the people that got you there.

Fox’s representatives point out that Trump has expressed some criticism of Fox News in the recent past. In December, for example, he complained in an interview with newscaster Harris Faulkner about a Fox News poll that showed him with a 46 percent approval rating. “Frankly, Fox has always given me a bad poll,” he said, though the 46 percent figure was somewhat higher than other polls at the time. “I don’t know why that is.

Who cares

It’s the thing he does best. If you want something divided, trump’s your man

trump wants a state-run station that will air only reports he personally approved...

Trump watches Trump for his ego then the fake news to find out how much trouble he is in

Peas in a pod. F em all....!!!

Trump & Fox News both insane

What!!! Fox has just destroyed itself! I’m done!

Besides bankruptcy, creating division is the single and empirically tested success he has consistently demonstrated.

I hate it when mommie and daddy fight...

Has fox news been I infiltrated by anti Americans?

He’s realDonaldTrump still intent on starting his own farther right network. Hannity seanhannity is intent on being the new Ailes.

Pay attention- Fox changed

Demonstrates just how fickle Tinhorn Trump really is. The fact that he still backs Pirro and Carlson just demonstrates how uncouth Tinhorn Trump really is. A true sack of rocks.

He can care less about dividing Fox news. That's small potatoes. He is dividing the country along racial and ethnic lines. Those in the Trump camp are holding the rest of us hostage from fulfilling the ideals contained within the constitution.

Trump wants to divide the world him and his swamprats want ww3

Lol. Fox is dividing itself.

Why would he do that? What are you up to WP your next smear!

the guy whose biggest accomplishment was to host a reality tv show where he literally divided people up and pit them against each other? ya think?

More fake news!

Live by the sword, die by the sword? Wouldn’t that be rich.

After leaving presidency, Fox Nation will spun off as “Trump Nation” cable channel!

The President lashes out. He has a tender ego.

Trump tries to divide everybody.

Like Obammie tried (and Failed) to divide the US?

You know what happens when you divide by zero, right?

Who cares?

Trump believes Fox was his loyal source for allowing them to be his information outlet of softball interviews. Just like the White House, he loves to stirr it up. Theyvat Fox have reached a kiss up limit and he does not like it!

He eventually throws everybody under the bus.

There are some quality anchors and contributors over at Fox. Unfortunately Jeanine Pirro and Tucker Carlson are not among them.

No.45 is in at State Tv. Fox is shoring up the gates preparing to unleash a cyclone of propaganda in favor of the sociopath. He needs them and they need his followers. Fox news cannot exist without the base. That's the only consistent audience they have. Propaganda Central.

Who cares

Everything Trump touches, and everything that touches Trump dies. FUX is doomed.

Ya he hates shep but he jumps high I mean high when Hannity tells him to

So we really are at no new crossroads with him..Hes either totally controlling narcistic nut case or,,hes in a downward paranoiac spiral tightening the circle around him of who to trust..🤨

He’s malignant. A cancer to all humanity.

FOX is just as far left as the rest of them are

Trump will work hard to divide people ! Don the Dictator wants a civil war!

Trump has to get rid of the Shepard Smiths and the up-and-comers on the weekend who thought they were supposed to tell the truth.

covfefe

Will you report it? Then he'll try it!

Sure. They’re going to be his rivals, just a few years later than planned.

Divide & rule is very old & best policy.

Q

Trump can’t keep anything straight, Not even his lies. Onset dementia. It’s so obvious

😂😂😂😂 you can count on two hands how many truth tellers are left in media. The vast majority of you all (yes def. You WaPo) are enemies of WeThePeple

No. And this is a dumb tweet to a dumb story with a headline style (yes/no question) that journalism school teaches you not to write on day one.

No.

wrong, the democratic party and their army of losers are trying to destroy fox news and trump.

Sad When You Depend On SO Many Lies And Liars. No Dignity Or Honor At All. LOL!

Now you pretend to care about Fox's well being? lol

🙄

No. Trump actually exposed you as propaganda machine of the DNC. EnemyOfThePeople

Fox news is already divided for hiring a thug!

He's impulsive with no strategy

FoxNews management is dividing FoxNews.
