Trump is feuding with Fox News again


President Trump is hereby ordering his supporters to immediately start looking for an alternative to Fox News.
Trump launched into his latest angry Twitter thread about Fox News on Wednesday, having apparently been set off by an interview on the network with the Democratic National Committee's communications director. He claimed that Fox was "heavily promoting the Democrats" with this interview, going on to complain that the network is "HOPELESS & CLUELESS" and that it should "go all the way LEFT."
He went further by telling his followers that they must "start looking for a new News Outlet," as Fox "isn't working for us anymore!" This latter statement immediately drew pushback from Fox News commentator Brit Hume, who responded, "Fox News isn't supposed to work for you."

Trump has been publicly lashing out at Fox News for months, going back to when he complained about a town hall with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on the network in which moderator Bret Baier, he claimed, was too "smiley and nice." He's also been raging about the network's hiring of former Democratic National Committee Chair Donna Brazile as a contributor, as well as polls from the network showing him losing to 2020 Democrats.
"There's something going on at Fox," Trump recently said, reports Politico. "I'll tell you right now. And I'm not happy with it."
As far as the "new news outlet" Trump wants, it sounds like he may have one in mind: One America News Network, the right-wing network Trump has tweeted about numerous times, including on Wednesday morning prior to his Fox tweet. The Daily Beast in May reported that Trump been talking up One America News in part "to make the Fox News brass jealous," with a source "comparing the situation to showing off a new girlfriend."
