What does it mean that Fox News is becoming more critical of President Trump? (Daniel Lippman)

from TrumpWatch with Jesse Lent · host WBAI 99.5fm, New York City's Pacifica radio station

When 2020 presidential hopeful Senator Bernie Sanders appeared in a Fox  News town hall on April 15, many of his supporters saw it as an inspired  attempt to reach across the political divide. Yet, for one regular viewer of the cable news channel, long decried by media critics as being  a mouthpiece of the Republican agenda, Sen. Sanders was not welcome. “So weird to watch Crazy Bernie on Fox News,” President Trump tweeted the following morning. “Not surprisingly, Bret Baier and the ‘audience’ was so smiley and nice. Very strange.” Trump even added, “what’s with Fox News?” in a subsequent tweet later that day. As anyone who even remotely follows cable news knows, Fox News has given the President nearly blanket support for even his most controversial policies and was an enthusiastic booster throughout his campaign. Is a change brewing at the President’s  favorite network? On this week’s TrumpWatch, Daniel Lippman discusses his recent POLITICO article co-written with Eliana Johnson “Trump's Fox News love fest hits a rough patch.”
