Furious Trump tells followers to turn off Fox News after poll shows him losing in six swing states - Salon

President Donald Trump urged his supporters to switch from Fox News to a different conservative news channel after the network covered a poll showing him losing to presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden in six key swing states.

Trump lashed out at Fox, despite filling his Twitter feed with Fox News clips parroting his talking points, after the network aired a segment on a recent CNBC poll showing Biden leading in battleground states.

"Fox News gladly puts up the phony suppression polls as soon as they come out," Trump tweeted Sunday.

Trump urged his followers to switch to One America News Network, which has repeatedly spread conservative misinformation, or Newsmax, a network run by longtime Trump friend and adviser Chris Ruddy.

"Fox News weekend afternoons is the worst!" he tweeted.

Journalist Yashar Ali noted that "Fox News weekend afternoons is as straight news *as it gets* at Fox News.".

One of the network's news shows cropped Trump out of a photo with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein over the weekend, even though they left Melania Trump in the photo.
