Trump Attacks Fox News Anchor Shannon Bream on Social Media
President Trump posted a public attack on Fox News anchor Shannon Bream, comparing her program to what he called 'Fake News CNN.' He said her show is 'beyond redemption.'
- Trump said Bream picks guests and polls that are negative toward his administration.
- Trump compared Bream unfavorably to former Fox anchor Chris Wallace, whom he had previously criticized.
- Trump predicted Bream's ratings would fall and said MAGA voters 'understand' her show's bias.
Why it matters: Trump's post included a list of claimed administration achievements, several of which are contested or unverified. The attack on a sitting Fox News anchor by a Republican president is unusual.
