Donald Trump: Fox News “Hasn’t Been Great,” May Be Part Of A Global Conspiracy

Source: Media Matters

CARL CAMERON: But you -- you keep saying that the media is collectively working against you. Do you think we are part of a global conspiracy really? I mean honestly, a global conspiracy?

DONALD TRUMP: Fox hasn't been great. But the others have been really bad. Yeah. I would say that Fox certainly hasn't been great. But you have been better than some of the others I would say that's true.

We will know it's time to set Herr Trump on the piece of ice and send him adrift

Chris Wallace is about a serious as journalists come at FNC, and he's smart enough to know that Trump's going down with the ship (plus, a Clinton Presidency will be GREAT for ratings). I think he'll be fairly solid in his questioning.

Trump the Birther has constructed a brand as a skilled conspiratorialist. Certainly, "skilled" is a matter of perspective, but for the apocalyptic alt-right he's tantamount to the second coming. He's a cult figure.

Much speculation has been offered regarding his possible longer-term motives, including the possibility that he has designs on the consolidation of a far-right media empire. The current posturing blaming the media for "rigging" everything is in line with this idea. Certainly, Carl Cameron's question bolsters this intention, if it is in fact Trump's intention. He's certainly loony enough to lead such an effort!

While I myself may be guilty of proffering a conspiracy theory, it seems that thing are aligning in such a way as to substantiate this. Who knows? It's all so crazy I'm just sayin'.

I have a feeling that his mike will be cut off faster than a speeding bullet once he is out of the game.

loathsome turd anymore. Every day is just torture - he just keeps getting worse and meaner and his lies just keep getting bigger and more desperate. It's just painful.

It's been great watching him fall apart, but, geez, enough already, Don! No, wait, I take that back, wait just a few more weeks just to cement this thing down below. I'm not happy with 375 EV's, let's go for 457, which is all the states where she has at least a 1 in 7 chance of winning. lol...
