Trump criticizes Fox: 'They forgot the Golden Goose'

President Trump on Thursday unleashed on Fox News, retweeting a dozen messages attacking the network and sharing one himself lamenting that Fox "forgot the Golden Goose" that made them successful.

".@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," Trump tweeted.

The president also retweeted a dozen different accounts that promoted conservative networks as alternatives to Fox News. "Quite right. They've been a disaster since the election day. DT has not been given any chance by a clearly corrupt media," read one tweet that Trump shared.

The Twitter spree underscores Trump's still-simmering anger at Fox News after the network projected on election night last week that President-elect Joe Biden would win Arizona. Fox was the first network to project the state would go to Biden, and only The Associated Press followed suit.

Now, what to do about the stench...? I hear that goose turd stench is almost impossible to get rid of. "It is what it is".

"There are none so blind as those who do not WANT to see"... something somebody said that was equally erudite, yet pithy...

Turning a blind eye is frequently a precursor to TOTAL vision loss.

Wouldn't it be terrible if something happened to FOX'S one remaining "good" eye... (he said as he laughed maniacally, just like Kenneth Copeland, the televangelist grifter for christ, laughed, who refused to accept that Biden won the presidency).

uh oh, I'm babbling incoherently...
