Fox News is now “Trump News Network (TNN)” Says Former Anchor

Fox's Chemistry Formula For Trump Loyalists 

Always about Me, Me, Me, only Me, Me, Me, always Me
(see ref in above tweet)

The full coverage of this story is here from former Fox anchor (Andy Levy). Very interesting, his take on this – which a lot of people already knew was the story but from a former insider – very eye-opening point of view.

He said the cable channel has turned into “Trump News Network” and is in a difficult position due to President Trump’s praise of its political coverage and because “the president’s base has become its (Fox’s) lifeblood.”

His comments were based on Trump’s recent tweet wherein he calls for a contest between media organizations — but not including Fox — to see who could win the “FAKE NEWS TROPHY” for “The most-dishonest, corrupt, and or distorted” coverage. (Tweet is posted above – my emphasis added).

Levy went on to say: “The people who should be the most embarrassed by this are the ones at Fox News, and I suspect a solid handful of them are. The press is not supposed to be on the side of people in power ever. The press is supposed to be adversarial, the press is supposed to question, the press is not supposed to curry favor with authority.”

I totally agree with Levy’s assessment in that statement – but with Trump, the PR guru – all bets are off the table. His thrives on being front and center, the only one in the room, the only one who get attention in the limelight that he controls – it’s his insecure, selfish, arrogant, stuffy, carefully-controlled persona, and that has been his whole like.

Fox news should be ashamed of the way they pander to and highlight Trump and others in that circle.

Nothing is apt to change – Trump has set the scene he wants for only his self-promotion no matter what and regardless of all costs (monetary or otherwise) – to the country as a whole, it is costing plenty in both time, money, and our national prestige worldwide.


Thanks for stopping by.
