Trump Calls Fox News 'Virtually Unwatchable,' Points Followers to OANN and Newsmax

President Donald Trump called Fox News "virtually unwatchable" on Saturday, and pointed his followers to instead watch conservative media outlets One America News Network (OANN) and Newsmax.

"@FoxNews daytime is virtually unwatchable, especially during the weekends. Watch@OANN ,@newsmax, or almost anything else. You won't have to suffer through endless interviews with Democrats, and even worse!" he wrote.

Trump's latest tweet highlights a progressively rocky relationship between the president and his formerly favorite news outlet.

For several months Trump has tweeted criticisms of the conservative network, at times calling them "Fake News" and "anti-Trump."

OAN and Newsmax are for those who find Fux Noise to be too intellectual.

Fox is fighting for the same folks that Newsmax and Breitbart are targeting. Good news. I am betting that Fox Opinion folks migrate to the Trump networks and then Fox can attempt to compete with real news networks.

... I sample FOX some weekends, when CNN has a dumb special and MSNBC runs dumb crime story reruns. I don't have or can't find OAN and Newsmax. Someone should start a good 24 hours news station!

It’s because of 25 years of Fox News lies and bullshit and AM hate radio that we have Trump. Hope they lose their followers to the even worse Nazis at OAN and Newsmax.
