lt’s hard to know exactly what is bothering Trump so badly here. He’s basically still got the same slavish devotion from Fox News that he has always craved and which they have given him, freely and in abundance. And now that there’s a possible war with Iran in the offing, Fox News is running Mark Levin 24/7. Levin is a warmonger. Initially he was thought by Fox News to be too weird even for them, but according to a broadcast of Uncovered which Ron Filipkowski did last week, Levin is BFFs with Sean Hannity and that’s why they were finally persuaded to put him on the air. Maybe Sean can straighten things out between Donald and Rupert, because it looks like that bromance is on the rocks.
The brainwashing cult message "MAGA you hate fox news. Do you understand?" This is what a cult leader does.

I agree with this tweeter. I think that Trump has decided that Fox News is in the rearview mirror and that’s his message to the cult. And it’s no wonder, after the results of this morning’s poll:
The Fox News poll, conducted between June 13 and 16 with 1,003 registered voters, revealed that the majority of Americans surveyed disagreed with the House-approved federal budget bill. The poll’s margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage points.
Only 38 percent favored the bill, while 59 percent opposed it, a 21-point gap against the bill. About half of all voters believed the legislation would be detrimental to their families, and just a quarter thought it would deliver any benefit.
The poll indicated that negative sentiment crossed party lines to some degree, as less than half of Republicans said they believed the bill would help their own families.
At the same time, nearly two-thirds of Republicans in the survey supported the bill, while 89 percent of Democrats and 73 percent of independents opposed.
The Fox News survey showed that while positive ratings of the economy rose modestly since the start of Trump’s second term—from 21 percent in March to 31 percent in June—overall economic sentiment has not yet recovered to the levels seen in early 2020.
Approximately 62 percent of respondents said their family finances were stable or improving, but 55 percent continued to express pessimism about the broader economy. Additionally, 84 percent reported being highly concerned about inflation and 68 percent rated economic conditions as only “fair” or “poor.”
Trump’s job approval rating stood at 46 percent in the latest Fox News polling, with a disapproval rate of 54 percent, meaning his overall approval is underwater by 8 points.
Well, you can see why he’s miffed. King Donald expects that Fox News or any company having a poll done, should make it clear to the pollster which way the king wants to see the wind blow. Fake the results, in other words. Trump wanted a much higher majority than this.
The poll, released this week, found a majority, 53 percent, approve of Trump’s handling of border security, while 46 percent disapprove. The outlet also noted the president’s negative ratings on issues such as immigration, as 46 percent approve and 53 percent disapprove, and foreign policy, with 42 percent approving while 57 percent disapprove.
Fox News has remained in business all the years that it has because Roger Ailes constructed an organization which basically got the facts straight, and was therefore a legitimate news outlet, but Ailes used the editorial department to go out on a right-wing limb. That’s been the working formula. If and when Fox News goes all in for Trump and just starts generating idiotic fake polls, they’re putting their own bottom line at risk.
It’s been my opinion for years that the Murdochs are all too ready to cut bait with Trump and find another Republican god. Remember when Ron DeSantis was featured as “DeFuture” on the front page of the New York Post? They’re chomping at the bit for a post Trump world, it just hasn’t manifested yet.
But Trump has made his decision. No more Fox for MAGA. And Steve Bannon doesn’t like Fox either. He says Fox News is not MAGA enough for him. Imagine a world where Fox News isn’t right-wing enough for somebody — including the president of the United States. Yes, we’ve entered the Twilight Zone. Again. We had an intermission of four years when Biden was in office but we’re baaaaack.
I read an article green lit joining Israel’s war he just hasn’t decided when exactly to start bombing. he will “decide at the last second. ” I actually believe that, I think that’s what he always does.
