Trump hits Fox News for 'wasting airtime' with coverage of Buttigieg

President Trump on Sunday criticized Fox News, accusing the network of "wasting airtime" over its coverage of South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and other Democratic 2020 contenders.

"Hard to believe that @FoxNews is wasting airtime on Mayor Pete, as Chris Wallace likes to call him," he wrote, referring to Buttigieg and the Fox News host.


Fox News is scheduled to host a town hall with Buttigieg on Sunday night.

"They forgot the people who got them there. Chris Wallace said, 'I actually think, whether you like his opinions or not, that Mayor Pete has a lot of substance...fascinating biography.' Gee, he never speaks well of me - I like Mike Wallace better...and Alfred E. Newman will never be President!" Trump added, doubling down on his comparison of the mayor to the character Alfred E. Neuman who appears on the cover of Mad Magazine.

Unfortunately Trump:
* a compulsive narcissist, has a fit whenever the lens is focused on anyone else.
* despite his assertions, will never, ever be labelled an intellectual.
* is oblivious to the reality that he is slowly yet surely wearing out his welcome

Trump thinks he owns Fox News so he slams them when they do something he doesn't like.  Now he slams Wallace; will Fox dump Wallace to get back in Trump's fan club?

Using your logic the President must think he owns CNN, too.   88devil

It's Fox's time to waste.  I watched a movie for a couple hours instead.  Washed my hair, too.   :shrug:

This all seems pretty predictable.  Trump is a narcissist and he demands full attention and love.  I have seen a move to the left at FOX also but Trumps own kids are liberal.  This really borders on dictatorship.  Total admiration and control over media.  I watched something on FOX yesterday.  Debate on Socialism and Capitalism.

Fox News’ Brit Hume Claps Back at Trump Over Tweet About Network’s Pete Buttigieg Town Hall

Fox News’ Brit Hume Claps Back at Trump Over Tweet About Network’s Pete Buttigieg Town Hall

Quote
Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume had a few choice words for Donald Trump after the president called out the network on Sunday for hosting a town hall with Democratic presidential hopeful and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.

“Say this for Buttigieg. He’s willing to be questioned by Chris Wallace, something you’ve barely done since you’ve been president,” Hume tweeted. “Oh, and covering candidates of both parties is part of the job of a news channel.”
