Donald Trump Finally Turns on Fox & Friends, Says They Turned to the 'Dark Side'

Fox & Friends is usually regarded as former president Donald Trump's favorite cable news program, as the show often showers him with praise. However, Trump wasn't too happy with them following a recent report, as he went off on the show's hosts in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social.

In his Truth Social post, he claimed that Fox & Friends botched his poll numbers and added that it might be on purpose. He then went off on his former "besties" and said that the show has been terrible and they have now gone to the "dark side."

Trump Not Happy With Fox & Friends After They Pointed Out DeSantis Was Leading in Some Polls

According to the Daily Beast, Trump complained about the segment regarding poll numbers. Fox & Friends showed poll results from right-wing organization Turning Point USA's straw poll, where Trump had 79% of the votes.

However, that was not what Trump was angry about. He was mad at host Steve Doocy for pointing out similar polls from Blueprint, the University of New Hampshire, and the New York Times. Those polls showed that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is leading among Republicans.

Doocy explained that younger Republicans liked Donald Trump and voted for him in the Turning Point poll, while on the other polls, there was a much different result.

Trump's Truth Social post suggested that the former president did not take too kindly to Doocy's observation, though, and claimed that he is leading all other Republicans and Joe Biden in almost all polls "by a lot."

He then claimed that former House Speaker Paul Ryan "must be running the place." This is in reference to the former congressman's current position on Fox Corporation's board of directors. Trump added that Ryan was one of "the weakest and worst speakers EVER."

Not Just Fox News Turning on Trump, but Wall Street Journal and the New York Post as Well

It is not just Fox News that is turning on Trump, but also other right-wing news outlets owned by conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch. The Wall Street Journal and The New York Post both published separate scathing editorials following revelations of Trump's inaction during the January 6 Committee hearings. Both publications, along with Fox News, are owned by the Murdoch family trust, and it is noted that Rupert Murdoch had an alliance with Trump.

Both editorials asserted that Trump is unfit to return to office. The New York Post said in their editorial that the evidence revealed during the January 6 hearings has shown that he is unfit for office and added that he should not be welcomed back into the race for the White House.

Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal, another media publication under Murdoch's family trust, said that January 6 was a test of character for the former president, and he failed that test. Both editorials by these Murdoch-owned publications came just hours apart from each other.
