“Chris Wallace was bad, but Shannon is even worse,” he added, referring to her predecessor.
Trump has had fraught relationships with reporters throughout both of his administrations; however, Fox News has received praise from the president over the years. He has also hired a number of former Fox News personalities for his administration.
CNN has been heavily criticized by Trump, who claims the network is left-leaning and promoting news to tarnish his legacy. He compared the two media outlets Sunday in the post berating Bream.
“Watching FoxNews with Shannon Bream is always like watching the Worst of Fake News CNN. I don’t know Shannon, but she always seems to pick guests, charts, and ‘polls’ that are negative, never talking about all of the incredible things that the Trump Administration has done,” Trump wrote, citing progress with border control, the stock market and military operations in Iran and Venezuela.
His criticism of Bream came after her Sunday interview with newly confirmed Attorney General Todd Blanche, whom she questioned about maintaining impartiality and fairness in the midst of Trump’s potential attempts to intervene in legal matters concerning the federal government.
“The president would never ask me to do something unethical or illegal. He never has; he never will,” Blanche told Bream, rejecting the narrative of future impropriety.
