Apparently they are not achieving the results Trump hoped for with regard to building his insurrection crusade and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=48948\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">stuffing his pockets with cash of those he&#8217;s defrauded<\/a><\/strong>. Meanwhile, his alternative social media efforts <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=49922\">have been predictably disappointing<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Trump doesn&#8217;t even have Fox News to lean on anymore, as the network has refrained from their prior practice of airing everything he did or said without interruption. And it certainly doesn&#8217;t help that Trump has been <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=48037\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">bashing the Fox News Ministry of Propaganda relentlessly<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Now Trump may be having second thoughts about his seething hostility toward Fox News. On Wednesday morning he released a statement that was virtually drenched with desperation and regret at having renounced his Fox friends. He wrote that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Fox doesn\u2019t understand that it is missing a rating bonanza by not covering the 2020 Election Fraud, the Crime of the Century, which is being exposed throughout many states on a daily basis.

But For Trump to criticize Fox News on the basis of ratings is laughable. Even though they have recently suffered massive declines over the past year (as have most television networks), they are still the top rated cable news network. And if running with the <em>&#8220;Big Lie&#8221;<\/em> would be such a <em>&#8220;rating bonanza,&#8221;<\/em> then why are Newsmax and OAN in the dumpster?<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Trump&#8217;s assertion that there is evidence of his preposterous claims of fraud <em>&#8220;being exposed throughout many states on a daily basis,&#8221;<\/em> is simply delusional. The only thing that is being exposed more on a daily basis is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=50249\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump&#8217;s treasonous efforts to stage a coup<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Trump may discover that Fox News is not going to be as resolutely supportive of his crackpottery, particularly with regard to voter fraud. They are currently <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=48869\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">being sued for $1.6 billion dollars by Dominion voting Systems<\/a><\/strong> for making unfounded allegations of tampering with the the election data. The lawyers at Fox News are so sensitive to their legal liabilities that they <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=50345\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">edited one of their own programs (<em>Dan Bongino Unfiltered<\/em>)<\/a><\/strong> to remove potentially defamatory content before posting it online.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, it seems unlikely that Fox is going to accede to Trump&#8217;s threats and start supporting the <em>&#8220;Big Lie&#8221;<\/em> narrative. They have too much at stake and know that the legal case against them is strong. So Trump is going to have to live with the miniscule coverage he&#8217;s getting from Newsmax and OAN (who, as of this week, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/tech\/security\/newsmax-oann-sued-maker-voting-machines-rcna1636\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">are also being sued<\/a><\/strong>). And the thought of that is filling him with dread, because he knows that won&#8217;t be sufficient to spread his ludicrous propaganda. But he apparently doesn&#8217;t know that his feeble threats are not going to get him what he wants. His influence is waning as he spirals ever downward into insignificance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
