US: Trump slams Fox News over unfavourable polls 0
US President Donald Trump has slammed his preferred news network over its recent poll results.
Trump, who always attacks news media writing against him, claimed on Sunday that Fox had turned against him.
In a poll released on Wednesday, Fox, which is notoriously identified by the public as a supporter of Trump’s policies, revealed that Trump’s disapproval rating had risen to 56 percent following the recent mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, which left 31 people dead.
Trump said something wrong was going on at Fox news.
He said he didn’t “believe” the poll results that Fox News had published.
“Fox has changed. My worst polls have always been from Fox,” he claimed.
“There’s something going on at Fox, I’ll tell you right now. And I’m not happy with it,” Trump complained.
Trump said he was of the opinion that the recent disapproval ratings were erroneous. “I think Fox is making a big mistake.”
Trump’s criticisms of Fox News is a small fraction of his unending attacks on the news media. Trump has accused the media of deliberately giving him negative coverage to damage his approval ratings in the run up to the 2020 presidential election. Trump accused US news media of chasing what he called a “racism witch hunt.”
He claimed the US news media were shifting their focus “from their Phony Russian Collusion Narrative (the Mueller Report & his testimony were a total disaster), to a Racism Witch Hunt.”
