    “Just watched Mike Wallace wannabe, Chris Wallace, on @FoxNews,” tweeted Trump. “I am now convinced that he is even worse than Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd of Meet the Press(please!), or the people over at Deface the Nation. What the hell is happening to @FoxNews. It’s a whole new ballgame over there!”

    And her tweet.

    Bila, who was recovering from COVID-19 last week, did not mince words with her response to the former host of Celebrity Apprentice. “Enough with the 3rd grade name-calling. Chris is doing his job. The news should not be any president’s friend, ally, or buddy. If it bothered you when Obama complained about Fox News, but you’re silent on this complete nonsense, then just stop. Seriously. Enough.”

    ------------------------------------------
    And the first lady then says, online bullying has to stop. Trump is some kind of mentally ill. Stuck in the third grade. We know he looks in on prepubescent girls, at contests, maybe he REALLY is stuck in third grade.

    What I do know, is he is a disgusting person. I cant watch his antics, I want to hurl. And now, he is evoking that same reaction in the captive audience for his callins.

    Trump REALLY does think that the news should be his friend,ally,buddy. I get the same nonsense from lefties, that complain when the angle is not JUST RIGHT at MSNBC. They need to fire so and so, that didn't carry the political bag. It sucks on both sides, that REAGAN ruined the news, and created ADVOCACY JOURNALISM. That, and investigative reporting is almost gone.

    What results, is our cocoons, and the presidenting by tweet. And worse, that, and reruns and reality is ALL THERE IS. I can barely watch TV anymore.

    Frequently the Fox news hosts who go all leftist-minded in their coverage of him eventually leave Fox to find host positions on MSNBC thus revealing their true ideology and political leanings that had begun polluting their approach to coverage while still working for FOX. So this is not shocking. It's just Trump being bold enough to call a weasel a weasel. For some unknown reason his ability as a weasel spotter upsets a great number of leftists.

    Dude you familiar with the term yellow journalism? Learn some history it helps with perspective. All there ever been and all there ever will be sadly is advocacy journalism. George Washington complained about his press coverage so did Lincoln. It didn't get better when the put on airs and started calling themselves journalists instead of reporters.

    I find Trump disgusting as a human being. It's just that he is a highly effective president and the man we need in charge of things while the Left endlessly promotes panic across this nation. But thanks for asking.

    Trump is worth what his father left him after roughly a half century in business.
    A series of Bankruptcies, daddy bailouts, law suit settlements, and a charity scuttled for fraudulent behavior all lend themselves to the notion he’s a brilliant management mind.

    He’s effective alright. An effective bull ******* deft at gaming our system. A man born on third base that somehow managed to trip over it. Trump’s an illusion there’s no there there.

    He’s the poster boy for the Estate Tax.

    The wrong man at the wrong time.

    Someone who does not give a damn about human life is exactly the kind of person this country needs to save human lives.

    Chris Wallace has had some serious TDS for years now. He even tried to perpetuate the Russia Russia Russia hoax when he interviewed Putin. He needs to either report the news or carry his ass over to CNN or The View to spew his opinion pieces.

    Well to be fair he only lost one friend and it was a weekend one only.

    What does bother me about the tweet is there is name calling and insults but there is no reference to what Chris Wallace said that ignited this tweet. Did anyone actually watch Wallace's show and see what he said that trigger the president?

    I’m sure you’ve never had a problem with main stream press towing the leftwing line. Hypocrite much?

    That's what makes Fox news the LEAST shady of them all. On fox news, they are allowed to have their OWN opinions. They aren't the BORG like the other 2 major networks are. Most of you won't understand this though since you' have already been assimilated. and also the left HATES any kind of individuality.

    I complain that the mainstream press is a bit too conservative. Too centralist. It is only the right wing lunacy that makes the mainstream press seem left wing. You could see it with the talking heads, as they freaked out over the apparent success of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Around half of left leaning individuals would desire a society as Sanders and Warren have advocated for. But it is too left leaning for the mainstream press.

    Yet the right identifies with the evil empire in Star Wars, sees the left as the rebels, the freedom fighters.


    Have you ever seen a picture of a group of Republicans, the party who advocates for monoculture. Where they all look and dress the same, spout the same beliefs and deny the same facts.

    Yes Republicans care about individualism, as long as that individualism is the same as every other Republican's individualism. It is the reason that the creative industries are dominated by liberal leaning individuals. Conservatives, by definition, want everything to stay the same. It is why it is liberal leaning individuals are who do most of the innovation.

    If Fox News and Trump part ways, which direction will Trump supporters take? Certainly, a president deserves more loyalty than a media outlet. Even Fox. But will they believe Fox reporting if it comes more in line with what others are saying about his performance?

    Well, look at that..You voted in a disgusting example of a human being to lead our country. Is this the sort of leadership you think this country ever needs, or stands for?

    You know some people believe that just telling the truth spreads panic..Is that something that the left should stop doing?

    As I said, I think it is JUST as stupid, when lefties say so and so pissed them off, and should be fired, for asking a question they didn't like, or pointed something out the left wants hidden. As if the station is YOURS, or OURS. They are all out to make a buck, and so are ALL right wing. AS any business is, that has things such as defense industry attached. And, they all have a board of directors. They are all right wing.

    I'm not a leftist. I don't confuse image for substance. Barack Obama was great regarding image but he sucked at actually being president. Trump sucks so far as image goes, but he's one of our greatest presidents. I don't have to like the man's personal habits or quirks to recognize that we are lucky that he's currently in charge. Substance over image. The Left might grasp that key concept some day.

    It has been said that it is easy for conservatives to fall in line, whereas with liberals it's usually about falling in love. Liberals' individualism is both its strength and its weakness. It's generally far more difficult for those on the Left to agree to anything, it's like herding cats.

    Conservatives on the other hand....goose step much?

    The only POSSIBLE thing you could like, about Trump is, he acts stupid, and ignores tradition and norms, and charges ahead in a bull rush, to ruin government, destroy confidence in gov, and destroy all regulation, no matter WHY it is there.
