I’m in a shout-out frame of mind.<\/p>\n

Thus, I want to say “good show!” to some of Fox News Channel’s top guns for firing back at Donald Trump’s bitching about what he seems to suggest is a growing “disloyalty” among Fox News’s talking heads.<\/p>\n

Longtime journalist Brit Hume brusquely told Trump: “We don’t work for you.” Indeed, the network does not work for Trump, although a few of its commentators occasionally act as if they do.<\/p>\n

Trump, though, is griping about the news coverage that Fox is providing.<\/p>\n

As The Daily Beast reported <\/a>about Trump’s recent Twitter-tantrum: The president concluded by complaining that Fox News was \u201cletting millions of GREAT people down\u201d and that he needs to \u201cstart looking for a new News Outlet\u201d since the one-time channel \u201cisn\u2019t working for us anymore!\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Fox does have some hard-nosed reporters and news anchors on its staff. I continue to hold up Chris Wallace, host of “Fox News Sunday.” It also has Shep Smith and Brett Baier on anchor desks during the week day.<\/p>\n

I won’t offer any commentary on the alleged “work” done by, oh, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, the “Fox & Friends” co-hosts, or Laura Ingraham. They all are full of opinions and express them regularly. They are entitled, certainly.<\/p>\n

However, for Trump to suggest that a major news and opinion outlet should be “loyal” to him is disgusting and disgraceful beyond belief.<\/p>\n

The pros at Fox are doing their job.<\/p>\n

If only Donald Trump would realize the fundamental truth about Fox. The network might produce more “friendly” or “favorable” coverage than other news outlets, but it does not work for the president of the United States.<\/p>\n

I’m glad to hear the Fox superstars pushing back on Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n
