'They have no shame!' Trump melts down on Fox News in new flurry of attacks
In less than 24 hours Donald Trump has launched multiple attacks on Fox News over their choice of guests while lumping them in with his usual targets as "fake news."
Starting late Saturday, the former president, who is off the campaign trail and has been most silent following his debate with President Joe Biden, has been on Truth Social lashing out —— some of them in his trademark all-caps style.
Late Saturday he ranted, "FoxNews puts on the WORST people, and all done very purposely. John Bussey, a Wall Street Journal Associate Editor, is a real loser who loves to hear himself talk. When he discusses me, he refuses to say, even though he knows it to be true, that everything I got accused of is a Biden inspired HOAX for purposes of Election Interference. He plays right into their web of deceit and deception by not explaining this. Is he a Democrat, or a really dumb Republican? Hard to believe I’m winning by so much with jerks like this stinking up the airwaves. Get rid of him, FoxNews! DJT."
The former president picked up that thread early Sunday morning by writing, "TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME!" immediately followed by, "EVERY ONE OF THE LAWSUITS I AM INVOLVED WITH, INCLUDING THE CIVIL SCAMS, WERE STARTED BY CROOKED JOE BIDEN AND HIS FASCIST GOVERNMENT FOR PURPOSES OF ELECTION INTERFERENCE AND TRYING TO DAMAGE SLEEPY JOE’S POLITICAL OPPONENT. THE FAKE NEWS, INCLUDING FOX, HATES TO REPORT THAT BECAUSE IT DOESN’T PLAY INTO THEIR NARRATIVE — BUT THE PEOPLE GET IT LOUD AND CLEAR! IT IS THIS ELECTIONS FORM OF CHEATING. THEY HAVE NO SHAME! BUT FEAR NOT, WE WILL WIN, AND POSSIBLY BY HISTORIC PROPORTIONS. DJT"
Moments later he switched targets and complained, "PETER BAKER AND SUSAN GLASSER, THE FAKE OBAMA LOVING 'JOURNALISTS' WHO HAVE NO TALENT AND REFUSE TO WRITE THE TRUTH, ARE FAILING BADLY, ALONG WITH THE NEW YORK TIMES. THIS LOVELY 'COUPLE' IS A ONE SIDED, CONFUSED, AND HIGHLY CONFLICTED MESS. BAKER WRITES SO INACCURATELY ABOUT ME THAT HE HAS LOST ALL CREDIBILITY, ALONG WITH THE FAILING NEW YORK TIMES, WHICH AT SOME POINT WILL BE PUT TO REST IN THE GRAVEYARD OF BAD AND INACCURATE JOURNALISM. THEY HAVE CALLED ME WRONG FROM DAY ONE, EVEN HAVING TO APOLOGIZE TO THEIR READERS FOR THEIR FAKE REPORTING IN 2016. IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN, BUT BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE!"
Then he returned to Fox News and wrote, "Why does FoxNews keep putting all of these warped Biden Apologists on, one after another, like failed former Congressman Patrick Murphy?"
