Trump's Still Big Mad That Fox News, His Personal YouTube Channel, Had a Bernie Sanders Town Hall

[Uncle Joe]

(snip)


Jokes aside, a sitting president has openly shown affection for a news station that openly promotes hate while calling other news stations “the enemy of the people.”

Talking Points Memo wasn’t able to verify if the crowd was actually padded with Bernie Sanders supporters or not, but the news site did note that pro-Trump protesters were photographed outside of the event.

But it’s quite bizarre that a president would be upset that a news station had a Democratic presidential nominee on their station for a town hall. It’s almost as if the president believes that Fox News has an unspoken agreement only to promote the lies coming from his administration. It almost seems like Trump believes that Fox News works for him. It kind of appears that Trump believes Fox News’ job is to promote pro-Trump propaganda.

Wonder why Trump would think that?

1. The audience wasnt "padded with Sanders supporters". Fox controlled who came in.

They seemed to know the mix; at the beginning Brett baier said something like "Our audience is a mixture of republicans, democrats & independents." And i cant think of any reason they would have to pad the crowd with bernie folks.
IMO, they werent going to let in anyone who would try to disrupt the show and probably did a good job of screening them. Note that pro-trump protestors were OUTSIDE. I watched a good bit of it & never saw any disruptions.

2. Yes but Trump said otherwise and we all know he is a man of the highest integrity,

if one doesn't count the thousands of lies that he has told just since coming to the White House...so there's that.
