New York (CNN Business)Disguised as passionate Jets fans, Timothée Chalamet and Pete Davidson mocked conservative news channel Newsmax on "Saturday Night Live" last night. The skit opens with a voiceover, saying, "Millions of real Americans are switching from Fox News to Newsmax because Newsmax tells them the truth -- that Donald Trump could still win this election." SNL's Alex Moffat, playing Sportsmax anchor Robert King, throws shade at "mainstream sports networks like ESPN," mocking Newsmax's attempt to take over the conservative news space. Moffat says "It's been reported that on November 29, the Jets lost to the Dolphins 20 to three."
Christopher Krebs was the head of the US Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. But when he publicly stated the 2020 general election was the most secure in American history, President Donald Trump fired him by tweet. Krebs was pilloried in the conservative media, most notably by conservative news network Newsmax and Trump lawyer Joe diGenova. On national television, diGenova called for Krebs' summary execution, saying Krebs 'should be drawn and quartered,' and 'take out at dawn and shot.' Now, Gizmodo reports turnabout is fair play: Krebs and his lawyers are going after both diGenova and Newsmax. Krebs is suing for defamation after diGenova's comments allegedly lead to death threats against Krebs and his family.
For years, President Donald Trump was a Fox News superfan, routinely phoning in to give impromptu interviews and receive gushing praise. But now, Business Insider reports Trump is waging war against the network. What's more, he's encouraging his supporters to migrate over to more MAGA-friendly channels like Newsmax and One America News Network. As it increasingly challenges Trump's baseless election fraud claims, Fox News is under a siege of its own making. With its recognition of Joe Biden as President-elect, Fox News' favorability ratings among Republicans fell by 13% following the election.
Possibly referring to himself as 'the Golden Goose' that had been forgotten, President Donald Trump on Thursday ratcheted up his attacks on Fox News. The president regularly tweets Fox News clips of guests or hosts praising him. He's also been critical of the Rupert Murdoch-owned network. Trump and Fox News have blown hot and cold together over the years. However, when Fox named Joe Biden president-elect, it seemed to be the last straw. According to Business Insider, Trump retweeted several regular Twitter users' complaints about the network--and registered his own. A few said they wanted to switch from Fox News to Newsmax, a less widely distributed but more explicitly pro-Trump network.
On Thursday, Fox Corp. stock dropped as much as 6% on Thursday. The dip came after Pres. Donald Trump retweeted support for its rival right-leaning news networks Newsmax and OANN. Trump and his supporters have been irritated by Fox News since it called the state of Arizona for Joe Biden on election night. According to Axios Trump could have his eyes set on creating his own news network to directly compete with Fox. "Very sad to watch this happen, but they forgot what made them successful, what got them there..."
