Trump accused Fox News of 'pushing' Democrats' agenda and said if CNN 'went conservative,' it'd be an 'absolute gold mine' and he'd help

Donald Trump lashed out at Fox News and Karl Rove after Rove critiqued his handling of documents.

    Trump also said he would support CNN if the network decided to take a conservative approach.

    Recent exits at CNN suggest the network is trying to appeal to a wider audience.

Former President Donald Trump tore into Fox News on Sunday, accusing the network of amplifying a Democratic agenda and going harder on Republicans than Democrats.

"Wow! Fox News is really pushing the Democrats and the Democrat agenda. Gets worse every single day," Trump wrote on his social-media platform, Truth Social. "So many Dems interviewed with only softball questions, then Republican counterparts get creamed."

It's unclear what interviews Trump was referring to, but he also specifically called out Karl Rove, a former GOP White House official who is now a Fox News contributor.

"RINO Karl Rove is unwatchable, very negative, and on all the time - Has a big record of losing!" Trump said. "Not an easy place to be as a Republican, especially with all of the 'pervert' purchased ads." It's unclear which ads he was referring to.

Rove served as a senior advisor and deputy chief of staff during the Bush administration in the 2000s. He has appeared on Fox News several times to discuss the Justice Department's investigation into Trump's handling of government records and the FBI's early-August search of Mar-a-Lago.

"None of these documents are his to have taken," Rove said last week, citing the Presidential Records Act.

While criticizing Fox News on Sunday, Trump also said that if the network's cable-news competitor CNN adopted a conservative approach, he would support it.

"If 'low ratings' CNN ever went Conservative, they would be an absolute gold mine, and I would help them to do so!" Trump said.

Trump's comments about CNN —  a popular target of his since the early days of his presidency — come as the network appears to be shifting its strategy to try to attract a wider range of viewers.

On Friday, the longtime CNN White House correspondent John Harwood abruptly parted ways with the network shortly after calling Trump a "dishonest demagogue" and saying that President Joe Biden's characterization Thursday of Trump's MAGA movement as a threat to democracy was "true."

Brian Stelter also had a sudden exit from CNN last month. Stelter, whose show and newsletter "Reliable Sources" covered media, was openly critical of Fox News and other right-wing outlets.

The shake-ups come after Chris Licht took over as CEO of CNN earlier this year following the departure of Jeff Zucker..........

 One sentence uttered weeks ago and the usual suspects raise their clenched fists as they collapse on their fainting couch.

It is sad that so many on the "R" side of the political aisle lack the curiosity to know the scope of the former President's statements, speeches, meetings, etc. --- .  Instead they rely on the MSM to tell them, unwilling to learn how foolish and counterproductive this is.

I didn’t see anything that was incorrectly stated by Trump. In fact, I see those same points about FOX News made here and elsewhere on conservative websites. Can anyone refute that the hard news segments on fox sound like they’re torn off of the same wire services that ABCNNBCBS uses?

Where FOX News shines however is in their opinion shows, like Tucker Carlson, for instance.
