President Donald Trump again slammed Fox News for giving airtime to Rep. Eric Swalwell and his other Democratic critics, tweeting Sunday that it was "pathetic" how "Fox panders."
"Don’t get why @FoxNews puts losers on like @RepSwalwell (who got ZERO as presidential candidate before quitting), Pramila Jayapal, David Cicilline and others who are Radical Left Haters?" Trump tweeted listing three Democratic House members who have frequently spoken out against the president and his policies.
"The Dems wouldn’t let @FoxNews get near their bad ratings debates, yet Fox panders. Pathetic!" he wrote, referring to the Democratic National Committee's decision not to let Fox News host the party's primary debates.

It's time. Time to pull the plug on most, not all, FNC shows AND Drudge Report. We've gone over to Newsmax and Bognino Report. "Try it you'll like it."

Why is Trump offended by someone having a different opinion? I had thought our side was respectful of free speech. I can always change the channel or not buy an offending newspaper.

I never liked Fox's "Fair and Balanced" schtick. To me, there is truth and there are lies. Why do we need to hear the lies?

The FNC is pathetic on weekend mornings with poor talking heads except for Maria. They simply have a stream of mostly all leftist and liberal Democrats making appearances spinning the Democrat Party line. After we get enough of the news to satisfy our curiosity, we just turn off the TV. Clearly President Trump is not the only one to sense the ideological and politically based changes that have been occurring on the FNC.

There is no reason for Fox or other news outlets to use sources like Swalwell because they are not reliable narrators. They demonstrably lie and spin to try to manipulate public opinion and do not provide useful information that can be used to reach valid conclusions. Over time I believe new sources of information will displace Fox using streaming services that filter the noise like Swalwell from their broadcasts. I've been very impressed by the One American Network News service that put together a devastating and detailed investigative report on the Schiff Impeachment Hoax that shows it is, in fact, the greatest political coverup and crime in our history. The depth of the real corruption that occurred in Ukraine during the Obama administration is stunning and needs to be brought to justice by AG Barr before this country will ever be able to heal.

Every time one of those demonrat nut jobs comes on tv to pontificate, I automatically change the channel.

I do not fear hearing opposing voices even on FOX. I do not need to hear unanimity of news content to arrive at a conclusion

I watch Fox and Friends and have for... since the beginning. As a matter of fact, that's where I first came to be interested in Donald Trump, the developer/tv star when he called in periodically.
Other than tuning in for some "breaking news" (a phrase way too overused), generally speaking I don't watch the daytime programming regularly, unless I know a guest I value is scheduled. We also watch the prime time line-up, sometimes overload, but informative and interesting. The arguing and raised voices just aren't conducive to trying to fall asleep. Nevertheless, I do watch. I'm just thankful for the remote control and the mute key!
The MSM & Dems have been trying to take down Fox for a really long time. I don't want them to grab another scalp.

Mr. President, Fox News is not your own media outlet. It is the nation's and Fox does a better job than any of the others to present our side of things in a fair and balanced way. It's beneath you to take such petty shots each time Fox airs one of your critics. Trust us, the listening public to listen and evaluate for ourselves.

I watch Fox and Friends, Hannity, Tucker, Laura and Judge Jeanne. Turn everything else off. Will never listen to Chris Wallace. Sometimes Ainsley on Fox and Friends drives me nuts because listening to her, she is a real airhead.

I gave up watching Fox News Sunday a long time ago, so I did not see the show Trump is talking about. I like watching Fox and Friends as I start my day, after that I might have the TV on, but i am doing other things as well. Evenings we like to watch The Five and Special Report (although I am not a huge fan of Bret). I don't watch the evening shows as a rule, but sometimes will DVR one of them if I hear a person I especially like will be on. Then I watch the parts I like the next day! Until OANN is offered by all of the Providers, I think FOX is the best we have! Comcast, one of the largest providers, is not budging!

When President Trump is right, he is RIGHT. With Chris Wallace as Fox's news anchor, wouldn't expect a "fair and balanced" as they have shown.
