How many of you have figured out what counternarrative Trump is using to get MORE PEOPLE to watch Fox News?

He'll put out a tweet about how HORRIBLE Fox News is because it has people on that network that ATTACK & it's SO UNFAIR!

Then he'll tweet THIS: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1262737181937938432?s=20
"Oh that Cavuto, he's so HORRIBLE! He's there on Fox News attacking me again, just like that HORRIBLE Juan Williams and that HORRIBLE Jessica Tarlov & that AWFUL Marie Harf and...!!!"

What's he doing there?

Who's he's trying to get to watch Fox by tweeting that?
He's literally trying to get people who think they shouldn't watch Fox News because Fox News is 100% PRO TRUMP 100% OF THE TIME to consider tuning in because hey, how bad can Fox News really be if Trump is BITCHING about all the LIBERALS on that network alla time?
Of course, despite the fact that Fox is RIDDLED and CHOCK FULL of pro-Trump people like Mark Levin, Maria Bartiromo, Laura Ingraham Angle, Sean Hannity, Greg Gutfeld, Jesse Watters, and about 10 other people I could list, there's also plenty of DEMOCRATS & Liberals on air there.
And I see people **constantly complaining** and bitching and whining that Fox isn't the 100% pro-Trump 24/7 network they THINK it should be.

Listen.

CNN's Oliver Darcy just stupidly revealed by Fox kicks CNN's ass in the ratings & has for years.

DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT.
There are people who actually WANT Fox News to be the full time 100% conservative "answer" to CNN.

Now, on the surface, it LOOKS LIKE that's why Trump is complaining all the time now about Fox News.

The network just doesn't incessantly praise him as much as it used to!
Well there actually ***IS*** a full time, 100% Conservative, no diversity of thought allowed, no-liberals-need-apply news network out there. It's called OANN.

I watch it. I think it has some great programming.

But I'm completely honest about what OANN is.
And Trump will sometimes mention OANN, which has great people there like Salvi, Wheeler and Posobiec.

But most of Trump's focus is on comparing/contrasting Fox News with CNN.

There's a reason he's doing that.
He's signaling to all those people who have abandoned the Democratic Party over it's absolutely LUNATIC actions the past 2 years:

"You're not fully ready to jump on the Trump train yet? And you're stuck watching CNN because you think Fox is pro-Trump 24/7? It's not balanced?"
