Trump slams daytime Fox News anchors for letting ‘lunatic’ guests ‘get away with murder’

The love loss continued for the former president and his once-preferred media outlet as an observation had him asking, “So what’s the purpose in watching?”

Continuing his criticism of Fox News, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social Tuesday with a point questioning how truly “fair” the “balance” was on the traditionally Republican-friendly network.

Without citing a specific example, the GOP leader challenged a guest selection brought on to sell leftist talking points while also hammering the hosts he asserted were “no match for these lunatics.”

Posted just hours before his wife, Melania Trump, appeared with the panel of “The Five,” and after he had been featured in an interview by host Laura Ingraham the night before, the president expressed, “The problem with FoxNews is that every time they put on someone who is positive and touting all of the good things I have done in the Country, they always feel it necessary to follow up with a really negative voice, often people who are storytellers and willing to outright lie.”

“The daytime anchors are no match for these lunatics, and they get away with absolute murder. The net result is NOTHINGNESS, so what’s the purpose in watching?” he asked.

Trump’s lack of specifics in his Truth Social slamming the network differed from some of the more direct potshots he has landed in the past, like how he took aim at Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto in September.

Following the president’s debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, along with ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis, Cavuto reacted, “He decisively lost. He might have made very good presentations on where the economy was, but it was all over the map. This was the first occasion where it wasn’t just a close call, it was a lopsided one.”

In response, Trump posted online, “Neil Cavuto, Fox’s Lowest Rated Anchor, is one of the WORST on Television. I actually prefer the losers at CNN and MSDNC!”

When he joined “Fox & Friends” the morning after the debate, the onetime commander-in-chief mentioned two other hosts by name in regards to the possibility of a second debate with Harris on Fox News.

“I wouldn’t want to have Martha [MacCallum] and Bret [Baier],” he told the crew on the curvy couch. “I’d love to have somebody else other than Martha and Bret. I’d love to have, frankly, Sean [Hannity] or Jesse [Watters] or Laura. You know, somebody else. Let’s give other people a shot.”

As far as the Fox News debate not happening, Baier pointed a finger at Trump when he told radio host Hugh Hewitt in part, “I actually believe — this is me talking — that the Harris campaign would do a Fox debate it’s the…the former president has come to the conclusion that there really shouldn’t be another debate.”

“Now, his reasoning? Don’t know. I always thought it would be like a bug zapper in the backyard for the former president in that he couldn’t get away from the light of 70 million viewers in that he would have to, eventually, knowing him, you know do it if it was on Fox and something he could agree to,” the anchor went on. “I’m getting the sense from him and the campaign that they are moving past it, and really the holdup is not the Harris campaign and Fox, it’s the former president.”

Trump’s latest complaints alleging an unfavorable bias came as Harris was viewed as being aided by corporate media during a series of interviews, including allegations against CBS News for appearing to deceptively edit a response to her benefit.
