President Donald Trump is accusing Fox News of parroting Democratic talking points on its network.
In a series of tweets on Sunday afternoon, Trump ripped into the network’s coverage, “@FoxNews just doesn’t get what’s happening! They are being fed Democrat talking points, and they play them without hesitation or research.”

He also mocked the network for trying to host a Democratic presidential primary debate, “They forgot that Fake News @CNN & MSDNC wouldn’t let @FoxNews participate, even a little bit, in the poor ratings Democrat Debates.”
Finally, he blasted Chris Wallace, the host of “Fox News Sunday,” and said he is “nastier to Republicans than even Deface the Nation or Sleepy Eyes.”
And he called for an alternative to Fox News, “The people who are watching @FoxNews, in record numbers (thank you President Trump), are angry. They want an alternative now. So do I!”
This is not the first time that Trump has lashed out at Fox News or Wallace. On April 12, Trump blasted Wallace after watching his show, “Just watched Mike Wallace wannabe, Chris Wallace, on @FoxNews. I am now convinced that he is even worse than Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd of Meet the Press(please!), or the people over at Deface the Nation.”
After that tweet, several Fox News personalities came to Wallace’s defense and voiced their displeasure with Trump’s attack, as IJR has previously reported.
