Opinion | Trump can’t afford to lose his state TV

President Trump speaks during a news conference in the Rose Garden of the White House on Tuesday in Washington. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 20 at 12:45 PM It sounds like a joke: President Trump got so carried away with rage-tweeting that he lashed out at Fox News. That’s not a joke, but an accurate description of a man determined to bite the hand that feeds him.

The president also seemed to want to play network programmer on Sunday, urging Fox News to stand by hosts Jeanine Pirro and Tucker Carlson, both of whom are under fire for controversial comments. Fox has supported Carlson but suspended Pirro for suggesting that Rep. Ilhan Omar’s hijab was, by definition, anti-American.

However, the outbursts also reveal Trump’s underlying weakness and fear. If truth trickles onto the screens of his low-information base, might he lose these voters’ unwavering loyalty? Might his lies not carry him through the next scandal? For him, that would be disastrous. Just on a personal level, imagine if Trump could not turn on Fox News any time of day or night to hear his lies and nonsensical views played back to him. If he could not spend endless hours hearing praise and getting stroked by giddy lackeys, he might melt down completely.

THATS CAUSE ITS THE ONLY WAY HE CAN GET HIS LIE'S OUT TO HIS FOLLOWERS.

What, really I lost you please

Trump is the greatest president in history

And the liberals can’t afford to lose their MSM propaganda machine!

I've got it the editor said. We will attack Fox and Trump will be cornered into protecting them. They all put their heads down and try not to make a noise.

56 million voting followers, he is okay! MAGA!

FoxStateTV the propaganda machine of the trump regime.

It's too much to wish that they might become a legitimate news outlet, isn't it?

This will never happen. The MAGA crowd have won its now about who can wring the last few million $ out of our crumbling planet as it slowly dies from global warming. Thank you Donald Trump and your fellow “conservatives”.

You’ve got no room to talk at The Bezos Post. How much are you charging for yellow journalism and DNC propaganda these days?

This is hilarious. A liberal outlet in lockstep with Democrats calling out media bias

Amazing how the left is apoplectic about one right leaning network when left runs basically every other outlet in America and the world.

Yes he can.. Cable networks and rags like wapo are no longer the news.. We the people are.. Wapo is nothing more than cia propaganda

Opinion: Trump shouldn't be allowed by law to have state TV.

WHY SHOULD 'TOKYO ROSE' HAVE A PLATFORM TO BULLY, EMBARRASS, BLAME, SPEW HATE AND THREATEN AMERICA? TRUMP SHOULD NOT USE THE OVAL OFFICE, ROSE GARDEN OR ANY PLACE AT OUR WHITE HOUSE TO BULLY AND CALL NAMES. THAT'S OUR HOUSE. WE EXPECT PRESIDENTIAL DIGNITY ON THESE GROUNDS.

Fantastic read thank you sooo much, we can only pray 💕

Don't screw up the media, haha

Close down FOX and get rid of Murdoch!

Why not? You think any thinking human believes a word you publish?

Opinion: Wrong.

Headline: Cunning Reality TV Showman plays Hi$ usual & customary mind-games in order to Con the gullible & manipulate their Reality to Hi$ Narcissistic benefit! Bully degrades anyone who might be on to him (dead or alive) & denies, diverts, & deflects from own transgressions!

enough already...POTUS is a lunatic, any one single thing he has said or done proves this....this is the leader of the free world who asserted that CO2 is good, because we are all carbon based lifeforms He shouldn't be allowed to drive a car...let alone run a country!!!!!!

I can not take enough showers to feel clean after listening to this ignorant man speak

Says the left-wing’s state paper

If Fox hired a left wing commentator like an andersoncooper or donlemon , or even an VanJones68 , FoxNews might be able to begin to repair its reputation and just perhaps, one of the above names might find it a noble endeavor.
