Fox News host says network 'not committed' to weekly segment after Trump mentions it

[sabra]

President Trump said twice on Tuesday morning that he will appear on "Fox & Friends" on a weekly basis through Election Day, but co-host Steve Doocy said Fox News has not committed to the proposal.

The president kicked off an extended phone interview by saying he has agreed to appear on the morning show every week on either Mondays or Tuesdays.

...

"We're gonna do it every week. Every Monday, I think they said, and if we can't do it on a Monday, we'll do it on a Tuesday, like we did today," Trump said.

"Mr. president, thank you very much. You may want to do it every week, but Fox has not committed to that," Doocy said. "We're going to take it on a case-by-case basis. And Joe Biden, as well, is always welcome to join us for 47 minutes, like we just did with the president."

3. How can he be out of money when his piggy bank is the US treasury (debt)

All these Trumpites are willing to grab cash from the US Treasury and leave an IOU to be made good by the American taxpayer.

5. So just for giggles will Fox let Biden rebut what the traitor says immediately after............

so that he gets a fair and balanced time...............I gotta bridge...................

[Fiendish Thingy]

6. They have to offer Biden equal time by law

Which I don’t think they want to do, so doubtful Donnie will get his weekly slot.

[patphil]

11. I agree, they will have to offer Biden equal time.

[Yeehah]

7. Fox "News" will do whatever the insane Murdochs tell it to do

Which will be a weekly segment with carnival barker trump.

[PatSeg]

13. I think that this may indicate

that the Murdochs have had their fill of this fool. They need to live in the world he's destroying too.

[beachbumbob]

8. I want trump to be talking 24 hrs a day and making new democratic voters

all that time

[PatSeg]

12. Oh snap!!!

Did Donald Trump just get put down by Steve Doocy??? Seriously??? Oh, to be a fly on the wall when he reacted to that.

What next? Will Sean Hannity turn on him?

[marble falls]

14. Fox is afraid the equal time FCC rule would kick in.

[TomCADem]

16. Window dressing. FOX will always kiss Trump's ass, they just like to act demure about it.

17. Doocey was just covering ...

... because Tя☭mp was too self absorbed to realize they have to keep deals like that a secret. Pretty sad that Doocey was the “smart” one in the conversation.

[jcgoldie]

18. Pretty sure just about everyone Donald Trump talks to...

...is "the smart one in the conversation."

[Whiskeytide]

19. That's quite true. It's just especially embarrassing...

... for it to be Doocy.

[Hekate]

20. Oooh. That sounds like the Trump-appeal is wearing off...
