Senior White House aides are making it known that they are not pleased with conservative cable news hosts challenging their policies — especially the recent budget-busting omnibus bill.
Trump watches Fox News regularly, listening to Fox News hosts like Sean Hannity, Jesse Waters, Jeanine Pirro and frequently reacts to their criticisms.
While Trump has appeared more eager to please his base on issues of immigration and trade, the omnibus bill was not praised as a win by conservatives, despite a large boost in military spending.
Senior White House officials complained to New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman that conservative cable opinion hosts were feeding the president information about the bloated spending bill that they felt was not true.

ReplyDeleteHalf of the 'problem' right there. Complained to NYT reporter? If they are so smart, why not communicate and dialogue with their conservative critics 'off the record' to get their points across. If they can make good points they can help shape the message; if not, take the heat.
NYT hates their boss, and will lie, cheat, steal to undermine him. How stupid!
The problem is you have millions of people who tune in and can't seem to understand the concept that these people are out there to entertain and make profits, not create sound policy guidance.
