But what is going on between Donald Trump and Fox News?
This weekend, Donald Trump severely called to order his favorite news channel on Twitter
It seems that the passion is no longer between the American channel Fox News and the head of state. Probably annoyed by the coverage of a debate with Bernie Sanders by journalists Bret Baier and Martha MacAllum, or by the questions raised by the network's legal correspondent, Andrew Napolitano, around the famous Mueller report, Donald Trump seems less and less satisfied by his media lover - and he makes it known. Last Sunday, the President literally torched Fox News on Twitter, attacking them head-on in rather unprecedented ways, including writing that the weekend presenters were "worse than watching the bad @CNN Fake News." "
“@Fox News is changing fast, but they've forgotten who got them where they are,” he continued.
It's hard to pinpoint what definitely sparked Donald Trump's anger (maybe this?), But hours after the rant, he was outbid by bemoaning Donna Brazile's arrival on the channel - a decision made public last March. In particular, he attacked Shepard Smith, one of the few Fox News voices to speak out against the US president, a frequent target of his twittering outbursts.
Despite his recent propensity to castigate his favorite channel, Donald Trump continues to spend hours in front of Fox News, whose treatment of information seems to greatly influence his decisions and his approach to power. In short, a love story like any other, with its ups and downs; the fruit of such an assumed zeal on the part of Fox News, that the leader seems to want to demand total loyalty to the figures of the network. No doubt, Trump is not about to let go of Fox News - he's only trying to test its limits.
