“On the Holmes Front” with Frank Holmes
President Donald Trump’s supporters know the media set out every day to destroy the MAGA movement—but the president just revealed one of their favorite media sources may be part of a silent, Deep State coup.
During an interview on Monday, President Donald Trump took aim at a news source most conservatives have always believed they could trust, saying they wanted to drag him down in an “undertow” of negative coverage.
That network is Fox News, which has shifted so hard to the Left that the president called out their “undercurrent” of anti-Trump stories—and he isn’t the only person in his orbit, or his family, to notice.
“I have the best polls I’ve ever had. But Fox never gives you my numbers,” President Trump told Newsmax’s Greg Kelly Reports. He added that his approval rating is “always lower with Fox than it is with others.”
One day earlier, the president posted on Truth Social that Peter Doocy and other Fox News reporters interview Democrats and “allow them to spew their narrative, which is, as we’ve seen for the last few years, all lies,” all “totally unabated or challenged.”
His son, Donald Trump Jr., thinks he understands the decisions: “That’s what happens when you have a more RINO network. They want to be loved” by the establishment, the younger Trump told The Chris Salcedo Show, also on Newsmax, Monday. “I’m barely on anymore. I know my father was banned” after the 2020 election.
“Honestly I don’t watch it anymore, because It is so ridiculous. They try so hard to be ‘unbiased,’ that they’re actually biased toward conservatives at this point.”
Another Trump insider also revealed he was on Fox News’ banned list:

They want to be loved, they just want the power, they don't care, they just want the clickbait … I don't watch it anymore because it's so ridiculous. They try so hard to… pic.twitter.com/DlJctbk49J

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giulini, a confirmed Trump loyalist, said Fox has moved “to the middle, if not to the Left.”
Giuliani explained Fox News banned him from their airwaves after he represented the network’s founder, Roger Ailes, winning a $40 million settlement against the company.
A former Fox News host exposed the fact that even assassinated Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was shunned by the network, which tried to hug his legacy after his murder.
“Fox News it talking about Charlie like he was one of theirs. He wasn’t. It’s a lie. Just stop!” said Megyn Kelly on her top-rated podcast.
“He was banned! They wouldn’t put him on. He was too supportive of Tucker” Carlson, she revealed.
Fox execs banned Kirk for nearly two years after he dared to question the 2020 election, put him on a “soft ban” restricting his camera time after that, and overall “did their level best to demonize Charlie,” she said.

The Trumps’ beef with Fox News goes back to the 2020 election, when FNC’s “Decision Desk” called Arizona for Joe Biden before any other major media outlet. It then kicked him off the network for allegedly being an election denier.
But Fox News personalities went out of their way to avoid making a final call on Ohio when RINO Republican president candidate Mitt Romney lost it in the 2012 election.
Fox News contributor (and RINO) Karl Rove forced Kelly to walk off set with the cameras following her, boring viewers for more than 60 seconds.
Doesn’t that make him an “election denier”?
Treating Karl Rove like a GOP guru could be proof of Fox News’ RINO/Deep State connections by itself. But there’s more evidence the GOP’s old guard, and maybe the Deep State, are leveraging the network against President Trump and his followers.
Many people trace Fox News’ decline to the day that former Speakler of the House (and Romney’s running mate) Paul Ryan became a board member. “Nobody can ever trust Fox News, and I am one of them, with the weak and ineffective RINO, Paul Ryan, on its Board of Directors,” wrote the president last June. A year earlier, candidate Donald Trump called Paul Ryan “the RINO loser who currently is destroying Fox.”
But The Horn News warned you about how Ryan would transform the network in 2019.
Nobody can ever trust Fox News, and I am one of them, with the weak and ineffective RINO, Paul Ryan, on its Board of Directors. He’s a total lightweight, a failed and pathetic Speaker of the House, and a very disloyal person. Romney was bad, but Paul Ryan made him look worse. As… pic.twitter.com/YPuZ9bsehV

There are more Deep State ties.
One conservative pointed out that Fox News personality Jacqui Heinrich is married to Pennsylvanian Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, the Republican who voted against President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” because he thought it didn’t have enough U.S. taxpayer funding for Ukraine.
And multiple Fox News “experts” and contributors admit they have backgrounds working in the CIA.

The intel agencies use the media to destroy their enemies—a fact let out of the bag by actress Claire Danes. She told Late Night host Stephen Colbert she attended a “spy camp” at a club in Georgetown, where she learned about the “distrust between the (Trump) administration and the intelligence world”—and then she dropped a bombshell.
“The intelligence community was suddenly, kind of, allying itself with journalists” against President Trump, she said.
Colbert cut her off faster than CBS canceled his failing show.
But intelligence agencies trying to sink the Trump presidency should surprise nobody. The month that President Trump took office for the first time, Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer bragged on TV that the CIA had “six ways from Sunday” to destroy him.

Is the Deep State out to sink Donald Trump? Are they using Fox News as their preferred “conservative” media to do it?
