After a number of Trump-endorsed Republicans lost key elections in the midterms, the many wings of Rupert Murdoch’s media empire began to urge the party to move past the former president. Now that dynamic may be escalating in a way that could hurt his shot at the GOP nomination in 2024.
According to four Trump aides who spoke with Semafor, the former president is now facing an unofficial ban at Fox News, with the network refusing to book him or even talk much about him in the context of the Republican presidential primary. “It’s certainly — however you want to say, quiet ban, soft ban, whatever it is —

Almost 200 Trump backed candidates won. Maybe 30 lost. Sounds like a good record to me.

The sticky fingers of Paul Ryan are behind the shadow banning of 45.

I’m not shadow-banning Fox.
They’re just “banned.” Period. Full Stop.
If I’m reading other news correctly, during the last election when various Fox personalities appeared to support PDJT and his policies it was all smoke and mirrors. Nothing is organic (the new buzzword.). Even “conservative” media is manipulating us.
Nice. More reason to support him. Until I can’t, or there are no more elections. Whichever comes first.

Such lies, you liars. Huge numbers of Trump supporters abandoned Faux News in 2020; that's the real story. Bump Fox!

Paul Ryan, Myth Romney, Mike Pence, white shoe Republicans are why my grandfather (think Rodney Dangerfield in CaddyShack, down to being a successful businessman) constantly voted against his interests and died a democratic.
Of course, maybe it wasn’t against his interests, any more than elites like Romney and Ryan. The white shoe crowd hates up and comers, new money, crude people who get their hands dirty and get stuff done.
That’s why they hated Trump.
That’s why they hate you. I’m

More people will flock to NewsMax. I doubt that Tucker will follow Murdoch's directive (if there is one) and Murdoch will put the future of FNC at further risk if he muzzles or fires Tucker.

So around 200 Biden backed candidates lost. Where is the story in the media about that? Nope, just the 30 DT lost.

The 2024 election is almost two years away. The primaries are a year away. At this moment, Fox isn't commenting on anyone but Biteme. Give it another six months. If by September, Fox still appears to be ignoring Trump, then we can say Fox is shadow Banning Trump. Especially if they seem to be on the band wagon for other candidates. However, with a complete idiot in office like Biteme who doesn't seem to mind giving other candidates endless material for campaign commercials, it difficult to focus on anyone else.

Fox news hasn't been a friend to Trump, or conservatives in general, since 2020. Right now Tucker Carlson is their main news attraction but we'll see how he handles to Jan. 6th footage he's been given. That said, I fear Fox has gone over to the dark side.

If he gets the nomination, they will book him. I think Fox News needs Trump more than he needs them.

One, if not the most successful US Presidents in many decades in spite of all the organized attacks on him from within his own federal government, and Murdoch decides to move on. Bwahaha
Other than Maria Bartiromo, Tucker Carlson, and Elizabeth MacDonald - why does anyone watch Fox News anymore? Well, maybe to see what hideous shade of eye shadow Harris Faulkner is wearing or to listen the gals on Outnumbered cluck.
Speaking of people who we should move on from: Paul Ryan. What exactly has this man accomplished in his life other than getting elected to Congress? What skills foes he bring to the Fox corporate board other than hatred for all things Trump? Such a typical slimy politician and the epitome of all that is wrong with country's political elites.

It is so annoying to me that media like Fox News dismisses the idea of election manipulation and outright fraud as the reason we are not doing well in elections. They refuse to wake up to the obvious. Does anyone really believe the results of the last two elections truly reflect the will of the people?

Fox started this ban with the early call of Arizona. That was the signal to start the election steal in 2020. Neil Cavuto was over the moon in happiness with Trump's loss. I do not watch Fox News. Tucker Carlson on YouTube once in a while, but that's it.

Every time someone pulls crap like this it just further solidifies our resolve. I still believe there were 100 million of us in 2020. Keep it up. You'll make us 120.

I don't watch cable/TV news anymore.
Have better things to do with my time.
I can see a Republican being elected President in 2024.
But it won't be Trump.
Big money will see to that.
Our system is that corrupt.
Whoever wins will look like an outsider, but can be bought, influenced, and manipulated.
First words we hear when a Republican wins?
See? No voter fraud here!

The whole idea of taking NewsMax off of Direct TV is to limit Trump's access to his supporters!
Fox has been puffing DeSantis and now Nikki for weeks.

I have pretty much canceled Fox News, down to Tucker Carlson's monologue, which has been good lately. Fox canceled Lou Dobbs, because he told the truth, no matter who that bothered, including Fox News executives.

This is what media is now. Both sides. It ain’t about them and who Rupert Murdoch likes or doesn’t like. But it is about that. This is a tremendous disrespect to the viewers and voters.

We stopped watching Fox after Bret Baer called Arizona for Biden while there were still 3 more hours of voting. He gave the "go ahead" with the steal. We cut the cord and now we are only streaming.

Since FOX local channel was the last bastion of network news for me, I suppose it won't be that hard to give it up on the heels of all the others forfeited. Anything I want to watch can be brought to my screen by either a magic button on my family member's phone, or on the ever-increasing collection of discs and sticks I have accumulated. Since the only good news comes from scripture, and I have a collection of the bibles from my departed family members, I'll make it to the finish line entertained, if not inspired. I'll save a bit of pity for those who will grieve the loss of the Idiot Box--even if they were smart enough to know better.
