President Donald Trump is considering launching his own online media company in response to Fox News’ decision to abandon the President’s base.
“He plans to wreck Fox. No doubt about it,” a source close to the President allegedly told Axios.
Check out what the Daily Wire reported:
The president has extensive email and cell phone lists from his 2016 and 2020 campaigns that he can use to help launch a media venture. Trump may also use rallies late in the year, ostensibly for building support for his election legal fight with Biden, to bash Fox News to his base. Many of the members of Trump’s target audience for a media venture are likely Fox viewers.
Trump is planning to sidestep the boundaries of launching a cable network and moving straight to an online streaming/subscription service.
“Trump’s digital offering would likely charge a monthly fee to MAGA fans. Many are Fox News viewers, and he’d aim to replace the network — and the $5.99-a-month Fox Nation streaming service, which has an 85% conversation rate from free trials to paid subscribers — as their top destination,” Axios reports.
Fox News has been straying from the Republican base by the day. On Monday, Fox News host Neil Cavuto cut away from a press conference with White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany after she started discussing the 2020 election.
“You take these positions because you are welcoming fraud and you are welcoming illegal voting,” she said shortly before Cavuto cut away from the press conference. “Our position is clear, we want to protect the franchise of the American people. We want an honest, accurate, lawful count. We want maximum sunlight; we want maximum transparency. We want every legal vote to be counted and we want every illegal vote to be discarded. Unlike our opponents, we have nothing to hide.”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa,” Cavuto said. “I just think we have to be very clear that she’s charging that the other side is welcoming fraud and welcoming illegal voting. Unless she has more details to back that up, I can’t in good countenance continue showing you this.”
