Fox News gets tired of Trump covers

President Trump has shown that he cared about covering his actions at the White House. More than one behind-the-scenes narrative has described him breaking his face as he looks at heads that talk about exploding this speech or political initiative. Then, he complains of all this, helping to concretize the idea that a negative hedge equals "false news".

A new Politico story, however, threatens the homeostasis of his narcissistic soul. It turns out that his notes are slipping. As Jason Schwartz and Gabby Orr point out, the President's recent rallies do not mark the hearings that will keep them on a regular rotation from Fox News, the president's cable TV pillar. Trump is no longer a lock to dismiss Trump's fans who talk every night during prime time on Fox News – that is, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham.

This is the dilution effect. In the run-up to the mid-term elections, the president set out to set fire to the country, stopping at various locations – about 10 since the beginning of September and more to come – to strengthen Republican politicians. At each stop, it involves the same set of discussion points: our business partners take advantage of us; the media is dishonest; Democrats are terrible obstructionists; all his friends are treated very unfairly; and do not we like Fox News? Even Fox News viewers who sit down each evening for the same Trump propaganda from Carlson-Hannity-Ingraham's crew apparently tire of the president's shtick. During the last nights of rallies, the organizers informed their audiences of the current Trump rallies and told them that they would be there if information was forthcoming.

"I think it was their volume," Fox News source Steven Perlberg told the BuzzFeed reporter, who revealed the story last week. "It's hard to call late-breaking information if it happens with metronomic regularity."

Well, there is a new standard. Trump did not make the news at rallies going back well in his presidential campaign. It does not matter: the cable news agencies have covered them with the same astonishing and sparkling as the rest of the country. He repeated the same points at the time, too. And of course, he canceled the news from time to time, but it was not an excuse. Television media are quite capable of monitoring speeches to search for nuggets of information and then presenting them to their audience. A few weeks before Trump's victory in the 2016 presidential election, CNN president Jeff Zucker admitted that he had done so much on the Trump rally at the start of the campaign. Cable networks will never come back on this approach unless a new, more exciting demagogue arrives!

Nothing drives Trump as much as his ability to affect people's entertainment options. His obsession with his ratings on NBC's "The Apprentice" is legendary. he also boasts of filling meeting sites; his illusions about his not-so-impressive inauguration crowd helped kill the career of a political hand in Washington. In fact, Trump is perhaps the only one in the country to be more concerned with the ratings than cable managers.

So how will he handle the news that Fox News is losing that love for his rallies? We may be attending the second round of a Trump offensive against his favorite news channel.
