Donald Trump was again in the mood to destroy his once beloved Fox News on Saturday calling it “inaccessible, especially on weekends” … just a day before his scheduled interview on the same network’s “Sunday Morning Futures” .
The outgoing president is usually a man of numbers, focusing his efforts on getting the wider public to listen to what he has to say at any given time, whether at rallies or in television appearances, his tweet Sunday was therefore a bit surprising.
“The day at @FoxNews is virtually inaccessible, especially on weekends. Look at @OANN, @newsmax, or almost anything else. You won’t have to suffer from endless talks with Democrats, and worse! ” he tweeted,
The tweet came just a day before he spoke to Maria Bartiromo on the “Sunday Morning Futures” channel. The other interviewee for her Sunday show will be Senator Kelly Loeffler, a Republican competing in a key second-round race in Georgia. There’s only one Democratic lawmaker in Sunday’s roster, in fact: New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy will be interviewed by Bret Baier on “Fox News Sunday.”

Trump has been denouncing Fox News for months for giving Democrats a platform and for their increasingly critical comments about him. Recent reports also indicate he’s even interested in starting his own conservative media competitor after his tenure as 45th president ends at noon ET on January 20, 2021 when Joe Biden is sworn in.
While Newsmax has seen a peak audience since the election, and Trump has urged his supporters to tune in there or the equally Trump-friendly OANN, Fox News ratings remain high. According to data from Nielsen Media Research, Fox News has held the highest rated prime time on all television since Memorial Day. Fox News’ prime time has averaged 3.930 million viewers since May 25. The NBC broadcast channel is just behind with 3.929 million, on average.
Asked during a recent call with investors about new competitors emerging in the market after the election, Fox Corporation CEO Lachlan Murdoch said, “We love competition. We have always thrived with competition and now we have strong competition.
