Trump: Only Pro-Trump Fox News Shows Do Well

Newsweek reports:

Trump hit out at Fox News ahead of the network airing interviews with former FBI director James Comey and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, claiming “only pro Trump shows” on the network attract high ratings.

On Twitter, Trump claimed the conservative cable network is “trying sooo hard to be politically correct” by interviewing two of his critics. He dismissed Comey as “totally discredited” and branded Schiff, a Democrat from California, “corrupt.”

Trump also singled out former Fox News anchor Shepard Smith, who was often critical of Trump on his show. Smith abruptly announced he was leaving the network in October reportedly amid frustrations over the network’s pro-Trump coverage.

Hard to believe that @FoxNews will be interviewing sleazebag & totally discredited former FBI Director James Comey, & also corrupt politician Adam “Shifty” Schiff. Fox is trying sooo hard to be politically correct, and yet they were totally shut out from the failed Dem debates!

Both Commiecast MSNBC & Fake News CNN are watching their Ratings TANK. Fredo on CNN is dying. Don’t know why @FoxNews wants to be more like them? They’ll all die together as other outlets take their place. Only pro Trump Fox shows do well. Rest are nothing. How’s Shep doing?
