Trump Slams Fox For ‘Pushing The Democrat Agenda’ – Offers to Help CNN Go ‘Conservative’

After attacking CNN for years as purveyors of “fake news,” disgraced former president Donald Trump is now offering to help the network shift to being “conservative.”

At the same time, Trump is slamming Fox News for “pushing the Democrat agenda” and suggesting they are on the way out as a force in right-wing media.

Trump made those statements on his Truth Social (a.k.a. Twitter for losers) platform Sunday, with Newsweek reporting:

Trump hit out at Fox News in a Truth Social post on Sunday in the latest sign the former president’s opinion of the news channel—which he frequently watched and praised during his time in the White House—has soured slightly.

In the same social media post, Trump also suggested it would be an “absolute gold mine” if CNN became conservative amid reports the channel is aiming to become more politically neutral and less critical of the former president under new leader Chris Licht.

Here’s what the twice-impeached ex-president had to say about the two networks:

“Wow! Fox News is really pushing the Democrats and the Democrat agenda. Gets worse every single day. So many Dems interviewed with only softball questions, then Republican counterparts get creamed.”

“If ‘low ratings’ CNN ever went Conservative, they would be an absolute gold mine, and I would help them to do so.”

It has indeed appeared that CNN is taking a sudden turn to the right, with Sara Fischer of Axios reporting

In a memo to staff in May, Licht said he wants CNN to help regain the trust that many people have lost in media, by “fearlessly speaking truth to power, challenging the status quo, questioning ‘group-think,’ and educating viewers and readers with straightforward facts and insightful commentary, while always being respectful of differing viewpoints.

“People are freaked out,” said one CNN journalist. “It almost feels like there’s a pattern. Is there a purge going on? They seem to be sending a message: ‘Watch what you say. Watch what you do.’

However, before CNN decides to ink a pact with the devil (Trump), they’d be wise to consider that if Donald is now turning on his longtime ally Fox, he wouldn’t think twice about tossing CNN under the bus, too.

Capitol Insurrection January 6 Viral Video

WATCH: Conservative CNN Panelist Gets Shut Down For Saying ‘Both Sides’ Responsible For January 6th

A Republican consultant who worked for the George W. Bush campaign got his head handed to him Friday during a panel discussion on the January 6 hearings and who is ultimately blame for what took place on that fateful day.

Scott Jennings, who has also served as an adviser to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) agreed that failed, one-term former president Donald Trump should not be allowed to run for office again, but then suggested Democrats also had culpability in the Capitol riots:

“I don’t think people who have lost all faith in institutions fully exist on the right. it is clearly also existing on the left, and I know right now, I mean, for as much as Donald Trump’s people want to smash Congress and do what they want to do on January 6th, there are people right now who would, I’m sure would love to do that to the United States Supreme Court and urging Joe Biden to bypass the Supreme Court and bypass Congress and essentially rule by executive –“

Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Eliott Williams cut Jennings off to interject:

“I don’t think it is a fair argument to sort of both sides insurrection.”

Jennings attempted to recover:

“You think it is not a fair argument to point out that someone tried to go kill Brett Kavanaugh or threatened to burn down the Supreme Court? These people have the same –“

But Juliette Kayyem, who worked in the Department of Homeland Security, was having none of Jennings or his bullshit:

“That wasn’t led by Biden, that wasn’t led by Biden. Come on!”

Jennings:

“I’m not — I’m not saying it was led by Biden. They coddled it.”

Once more, Kayyem was quick to slam Jennings:

“Whatever you believe, Scott, about what the Democrats are doing, just give us a break here on this one, that Trump actually directed the violence — you don’t think he directed the violence?”

Jennings was then forced to admit that Trump was the instigator of the horror on Jan. 6:

“Yes, of course, I do. I said it many times, but I’m telling you David’s [Axelrod] is correct, there is a whole group of Americans who have given up on our process and institutions and they don’t fully exist on the right, which I think you think they do, but I don’t believe they do. “

But people on the left didn’t storm the Capitol or try to overturn an election. That was the Trump acolytes, led by their orange lord and savior. And that fact will never change.

CNN’s Jim Acosta Just Said Exactly What Needed To Be Said About The Failed, One-Term Donald Trump

Failed, one-term former President Donald Trump has always hated CNN and Jim Acosta, who was White House correspondent for the network during the Trump administration. That’s probably because Acosta wasn’t afraid to ask tough questions and CNN didn’t bow down to King Donald the way Fox News did during his four years in office.

Things got so contentious between Trump and Acosta at one point that the former president banned him from the White House altogether, as CNBC reported at the time:

“The White House has suspended the press pass of CNN correspondent Jim Acosta after he and President Donald Trump had a heated confrontation during a news conference.

“They began sparring Wednesday after Acosta asked Trump about the caravan of migrants heading from Latin America to the southern U.S. border. When Acosta tried to follow up with another question, Trump said, ‘That’s enough!’ and a female White House aide unsuccessfully tried to grab the microphone from Acosta.”

Now, however, Acosta has the upper hand, and he used it to verbally slap down Trump for his pathetic attempt at a comeback, with the former president speaking at a Republican meeting in Greeneville, North Carolina on Saturday evening.

Acosta was hosting a news program on CNN prior to Trump’s speech when he perfectly nailed exactly what was taking place including comments Trump made this week that he’d be installed as president as soon as this August. To that, Acosta remarked:

“If Trump really believes he will be back in the White House this August, he should get help. You are not well, sir.”

But that was far from all Acosta had to say, adding:

“Trump’s life is like a country music song. He’s lost the House, he’s lost the Senate, he’s lost the White House, website. If he had a dog, the dog would leave him too.”

Game, set, and match, Jim Acosta.
