Trump says Fox News "Forgot the Golden Goose"




.@FoxNews daytime ratings have completely collapsed. Weekend daytime even WORSE. Very sad to watch this happen, but they forgot what made them successful, what got them there. They forgot the Golden Goose. The biggest difference between the 2016 Election, and 2020, was @FoxNews!

I know my mother's daily viewing of that channel drove a big wedge into the family dynamics during W's administration.

It just shows how Trump think's he's a king. Fox has been the top conservative news source since Bill Clinton's presidency.

It’s kill the Golden Goose, not forget the Golden Goose.

If you forget the Golden Goose, it will still lay golden eggs until you get back.

Kill the Golden Goose, and no more Golden eggs...

NOBODY cares about cable news ratings, you media whore.

Totally emabrrassing that the President of the United States feels he needs to weigh in on this. Biden can't come on fast enough.

Scoop: Trump eyes digital media empire to take on Fox News

President Trump has told friends he wants to start a digital media company to clobber Fox News and undermine the conservative-friendly network, sources tell Axios.

The state of play: Some Trump advisers think Fox News made a mistake with an early call (seconded by AP) of President-elect Biden's win in Arizona. That enraged Trump, and gave him something tangible to use in his attacks on the network.

"He plans to wreck Fox. No doubt about it," said a source with detailed knowledge of Trump's intentions.

With loyal viewers and longtime dominance, Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch said on a Nov. 3 earnings call:

really, all in this tweet, we his warped priorities sense of propriety that as president of the united states he should even be commenting on and criticizing one cable tv propaganda outlet's ratings, the megalomania that any decline in their ratings is all due to them not fawning over him, the egomania of referring to himself as the golden goose, and the pathetic deflection that his electoral loss was due to foxnews not cheering him on as they did in 2016.

and of course this latest effort won't go far either, as he is uncontrollable and thus, a bad choice to have as a spokesperson on air, 24x7. Go ahead, I'd be surprised if anyone will lend him the money or give him the money, after all, he's cost folks tens of millions of dollars or more, and what did they get out of it?

The reason he won in 2016 and not in 2020 is he didnt have an entire cable news network carrying his water for him every day this time?
