Once again, Trump’s accusations against real news networks are nothing but projection and admissions.
CNN got an exclusive look at excerpts from a forthcoming book by Politico’s Alex Isenstadt. He reports that in January 2024, Trump had agreed to a “sit down” with his “golf buddy” the supposedly serious journalist Bret Baier. (Incidentally, Baier just sold his D.C. “French chateau-style estate,” worth about $30 million, to Trump pick for commerce secretary and likely crooked billionaire Howard Lutnick.)
But, apparently, Trump’s aides worried that he wasn't “taking prep for the telecast seriously." They thought Baier and cohost Martha MacCallum might ask some tough questions and that he'dg "basically be winging it."
So Fox “News” did a solid for its favorite (now that Roger Ailes has died) p***y grabber. Someone texted “a senior aide” images of the planned questions and the follow ups “down to the exact wording,” according to the book. The team then “workshopped answers.”
Fox’s response to CNN is hardly a full-throated denial.
