Trump Has Abandoned Every Network Except Fox News

"SNIP............



Since his disastrous ABC News interview about the Khan family days after the Republican convention, Donald Trump has only appeared on Fox News, the Huffington Post reports.

“His retreat to Fox News is a remarkable change in strategic focus, having earlier pledged to win the election based on his skill at generating free media coverage… But it appears that he’s now calculated that the risk of venturing too far from the conservative-leaning network is too great. In June, 18 of Trump’s 29 interviews across six networks were on Fox News, according to additional research provided by Media Matters. In July, he did nine interviews on Fox News and just six combined across ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC. None of these networks have had him on in August.”

He leaves you out of his loop. He is not strong enough to interview with those who point out where he is lying especially when they play the video where he says something different. So he will be over and he can go home and sleep.

with the likes of Ailes and Bannon, I wonder will Fox take a view on supporting him as well ?
