Donald Trump probably got the shock of his life today during his “executive time” if he was watching Fox News (which is highly probable). The network has been notably more balanced recently, as its reporters are pretty much fed up with lying and defending the idiot we have in the White House and the network is realizing that being pro-Trump is hurting them more than anything.

Earlier today, an entire panel roasted Trump for his repeated attacks on late Senator John McCain. It was a dialogue we never thought we’d see happen on Fox News, but we’re so glad it did. Addressing Trump’s recent comments that McCain was a “dead war hero,” which the president made during his press conference with Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro, everyone on the conservative network’s panel let Trump have it.

During the segment, GOP strategist Lauren Claffey pointed out Trump’s inability to stay on task with his random comment that he “never a fan of John McCain and never will be.” Claffey said that Republicans are “always a little concerned” that Trump will go off the rails during a speech.

Host Neil Cavuto also said that Trump’s “fixation” on McCain was disturbing and “in a field of its own.” RealClearPolitics’ A.B. Stoddard was also on the panel, stating that “we’ve known for a while that President Trump took it very personally” when McCain opposed the “skinny repeal” of the Affordable Care Act. Stoddard pointed out that Trump clearly hadn’t gotten over it.

Is Fox News becoming the new CNN?

[Iliyah]

1. I do not trust

the real fake news . . . .

[EndGOPPropaganda]

2. No Fox "News" is not changing.

[cstanleytech]

8. Agree. Real change would be firing most of their people and hiring real reporters and hosts

that are truly moderate.

[Scarsdale]

38. Sean "I'm SO constipated" Hannity

is not a reporter. He never finished college. By the way, it shows - BIGLY. Most of the "reporters" seem to have taken courses in "hitching up dresses" "lowering necklines" and spray tans. Not exactly professional news people.

[msongs]

3. sounds like its only related to his mccain comments. all else is well nt

[Schmice3]

12. here's why

Only because McCain was a hawk.

[forgotmylogin]

21. Yeah, that was a thorough beating with pillows and foam bats.

Let's hope it is a continuing trend though.

I wonder if the quashed Stormy Daniels scoop might have actually bent some of the other talking heads out.

[GP6971]

4. They have a long way

to go before that is even remotely possible.

[slumcamper]

5. POSEURS.

"...the network is realizing that being pro-Trump is hurting them more than anything."

Ha.
Ha ha.
Ha ha ha.

[onit2day]

6. That is hardly a rebuke

[cstanleytech]

7. "The network has been notably more balanced recently" I would not count on that lasting at all

that long.

[Iliyah]

9. LOL

I think they really want to be part of the Democratic Party's debate schedule.

[Vdizzle]

13. They are filthy opportunists.

They will take the opportunity to blast something the orange shitgibbon said in order to try and gain favor with the small percentage of their viewers who are in doubt of the autocratic weasel-head. But they will keep toeing the line that their marching orders outline. This is nothing but a ruse meant to fool a few who may be thinking of jumping ship. Make no mistake.... Fox is the mouthpiece that these assholes use to keep power. It can and must never be trusted... ever. They are never fair. They are never balanced. Not ever. They need to be kicked off the air. They have no place in civil discourse. They peddle fear and guilt and hatred. That is all. Fox should be outlawed.

[mopinko]

10. he connects him w the dossier, and therefore, his downfall.

tia

[Haggis for Breakfast]

11. Didn't I read somewhere that FOX is spinning off its news division ?

Or something like that ?

[genxlib]

36. They spun off their movies division

But kept the news division

[marybourg]

14. Tonight-seen in the gym- they were discussing the "radical"

Democratic candidate field, and attacking the media for not reporting a person killed by an immigrant, on the day that 50 persons were killed by a rightwing nutjob.

[mwooldri]

15. This sounds like a minor WWE match...

...where something approaching real wrestling happens but isn't the main event.

[ificandream]

16. Fox News is playing games with its viewers

There's a great piece on Media Matters about how Fox has people like Shep Smith to make it appear "fair and balanced." It's all a sham, as is this railing against Trump for barking at John McCain. And that's all Fox is ... it's a piece of crap disguised as a news source. They want their viewers to think they are sincere, but remember that the face of Fox is idiots like Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and faux judge Jeannine Pirro.

And this bluster that they'll get rid of Pirro? I don't believe it for a second.

[Kablooie]

17. An isolated incident.

They will start pushing him as the dictator America needs tomorrow.

[NBachers]

18. How Susan Collins of them

[kairos12]

22. Perfect!

[Ligyron]

19. They did shut down that hideous Pirro woman

Going off about middle eastern people being unpatriotic in a bigoted rant? Hell, she is an Arab herself but pretends to be Italian.

[Raine]

28. two weeks

is the amount of her suspension

[Xolodno]

20. CYA

Cover..Your..Ass.

They know shit will hit the fan, so they are one hand trying to say "yes, we objected to the corruption"...while...they continue business as usual. They will move to where their audience does, but in case their audience moves against Trump, they will have the appropriate cover.

And the dumb fuck doesn't realize it.

[mpcamb]

39. I agree. Fake left, go right.

[yaesu]

23. Fox news balanced? Now that is fake news. nt

[PatrickforO]

24. Well, I wouldn't hold my breath on Fox becoming the next CNN.

But the sooner Trump is hauled out of the White House in utter disgrace, tried and imprisoned for his utter corruption, racketeering and treason, the better. Anything, any little thing, that gets us closer to that blessed moment is a happy thing.

[CentralMass]

25. They are probably trying to get back on the list to host one of Democratic debates

Fox News is Irredeemable.

[rusty quoin]

26. Fox News is and will always be the worst. They are horrible.

What is Brian K. up to on his Fucks and Friends? Is he as stupid as always. Of course he is, but he hit it with a bully crowd Network making him a millionaire, yet without the use of his brain.

I knew guys like him in High School. They latched onto popular without an original thought. You know the type. That’s Fox News...High School.

[rpannier]

32. He also gets those free dinners with trump

Not giving up that free meal

[JDC]

27. Boy, there those comments really sounded stern

Right up there with a Paul Ryan's "Not helpful" rebuke.

[Mike Nelson]

29. This is a joke, right?

… FOX "News" may be preparing to worship Pence, but they're not going to abandon their hero yet... maybe it's just a spanking. He likes being spanked by Stormy.

[MrScorpio]

30. Don't worry

The State News Agency will be back on track by tomorrow.

[rpannier]

31. I don't think Neil Cavuto has ever liked il douchebag

I will be more convinced when it's insannity, the Grand Dragon Lou Dobbs and madam suspended

[EarthFirst]

33. Fox will not be changing it's mission statement...

They may have been given a specific set of parameters that can be shaped to direct the dialogue should they feel polling numbers may not be favorable for 2020; however Fox will always be a Conservative outlet with a bent against Democratic Party policies.

[Aussie105]

34. Maybe word has come down

from Mount Murdoch, that Trump is a lost cause, and Fox should back off until Rupert works out which new wagon to hitch his horses to?

Rupert has tried his vile tactics in Australia and England, and wasn't too successful, but America was richer pickings for his version of looking at things.

But even Rupert must be running out of patience and see the writing on the wall, by now.

As an Australian, I've only recently been able to access Fox & Friends through a phone app.

Within 5 minutes, I learnt a lot about the twisted logic that goes on.

Rupert up to his old tricks. Nothing new.

[BumRushDaShow]

35. Meanwhile Murdoch has created a new Faux entity

with Eddie Munster on the board - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-03-19/former-speaker-paul-ryan-joins-board-of-murdoch-s-new-fox-corp

So watch for more insidious, devious, and deceptive wonk-like crap soon!

[marble falls]

37. Fox is acting just like Lindsey Graham. They haven't changed their stripes, just their methods.

[DonViejo]

40. Locking...
