President Donald Trump shook up the media world on Sunday after a scathing message for one of its biggest news giants.
Trump did his usual slamming of CNN and MSNBC.
But his primary target was Fox News.
Trump, who usually celebrates the network’s high ratings and friendly coverage, slammed the network’s weekend lineup in a charged Twitter rant.
He even claimed that Fox News was getting worse than “Fake News CNN,” and MSNBC.
“Watching @FoxNews weekend anchors is worse than watching low ratings Fake News @CNN, or Lyin’ Brian Williams… and the crew of degenerate Comcast (NBC/MSNBC) Trump haters, who do whatever Brian & Steve tell them to do.”
That stings.
…..Comcast (NBC/MSNBC) Trump haters, who do whatever Brian & Steve tell them to do. Like CNN, NBC is also way down in the ratings. But @FoxNews, who failed in getting the very BORING Dem debates, is now loading up with Democrats & even using Fake unsourced @nytimes as….

…a “source” of information (ask the Times what they paid for the Boston Globe, & what they sold it for (lost 1.5 Billion Dollars), or their old headquarters building disaster, or their unfunded liability? @FoxNews is changing fast, but they forgot the people who got them there!

Trump seemed to be getting frustrated by the amount of attention many 2020 Democratic presidential candidates are getting as they participate in town halls around the country.
But he also grew frustrated by Fox News using The New York Times as a source.
The liberal newspaper recently released an article entitled “The Articles of Impeachment Against Donald J. Trump: A Draft,” which laid out a road map for Democrats to impeach Trump.
The Times has run dozens of stories suggesting Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign illegally colluded with Russia — stories that have since been debunked as fake news.
Trump blasted Fox News for using the publication as a credible source.
