President Trump Blasts Fox Corp Owner Rupert Murdoch

100 Percent Fed Up
Hits: 12

President Trump is not happy with Fox Corp owner Rupert Murdoch.

President Trump stated, “Rupert Murdoch has told me for years that he is going to get rid of his FoxNews, Trump Hating, Fake Pollster, but he has never done so.”

He added, “This “pollster” has gotten me, and MAGA, wrong for years. Also, and while he’s at it, he should start making changes at the China Loving Wall Street Journal. It sucks!!!”

Trump’s comments are in response to a recent Fox News poll that claims most voters are not happy with Trump on most issues.

Per The Independent:

President Donald Trump encouraged News Corp founder Rupert Murdoch to “start making changes” at Fox News and the Wall Street Journal in a furious Truth Social post after the news organizations offered negative coverage of the administration.

In the angry post, the president flexed his influence over the conservative news groups by touting his relationship with Murdoch, who was also the former CEO of News Corp, which owns Fox News and the Journal.

The post comes a day after Fox News released a poll that found that voters are generally displeased with Trump on most issues. The Journal, meanwhile, has released an editorial criticizing Trump’s tariff agenda.

“Rupert Murdoch has told me for years that he is going to get rid of his FoxNews, Trump Hating, Fake Pollster, but he has never done so. This ‘pollster’ has gotten me, and MAGA, wrong for years,” Trump wrote.

He added, “Also, and while he’s at it, he should start making changes at the China Loving Wall Street Journal. It sucks!!!”

Here’s the Fox News poll that Trump was responding to:

As President Donald Trump approaches the 100th day of his second term, a Fox News survey finds voters pleased with the job he is doing on border security, but displeased on most other issues — including inflation.

Trump receives his best marks on border security, as a 55% majority approves. That’s the only issue where his ratings are in positive territory. On immigration, a record high of 47% approve of Trump (48% disapprove), while a new low of 38% approve on the economy (56% disapprove). His worst ratings are on inflation (33% approve, 59% disapprove), followed by tariffs (33%-58%), foreign policy (40%-54%), taxes (38%-53%), and guns (41%-44%).

Overall approval of Trump’s job performance comes in at 44%, down 5 points from 49% approval in March. That’s lower than the approval of Joe Biden (54%), Barack Obama (62%), and George W. Bush (63%) at the 100-day mark in their presidencies. It’s also lower by 1 point compared to Trump’s 45% approval at this point eight years ago.

Some 59% of voters are unhappy with how things are going in the country. That’s an improvement since the end of former President Biden’s term (68% dissatisfied), but worse than four years ago at the beginning of Biden’s term (53% dissatisfied). It’s also worse than the 100-day mark of Trump’s first term (53% dissatisfied). Since his inauguration in January, satisfaction among Democrats has turned to dissatisfaction and vice versa among Republicans. Dissatisfaction remained steady among Independents.

Voters remain gloomy about the economy, as 71% rate economic conditions negatively and 55% say it is getting worse for their family. Both of those numbers are slight improvements compared to where they stood in December. Still, only 28% say it feels like things are getting better and by a 22-point margin more think Trump’s policies are hurting rather than helping the economy. Trump is underwater by a narrower 11-point margin when voters are asked what they expect from his policies in the long run (40% help vs. 51% hurt).
