President Donald Trump is not known for sparing the feelings of folks in the mainstream media, and that includes those who work for right-leaning networks like Fox News, as anchor Shannon Bream recently found out. Trump completely unloaded on Bream, accusing her of stacking her program with guests, polls, and graphics that are hostile to him, his administration, and the MAGA movement.
The comments from the president came after Bream sat down for an interview with the newly confirmed Attorney General Todd Blanche on Fox News Sunday. During the conversation, Bream pressed Blanche on whether he could stay fair and independent if President Trump tried to influence federal legal matters, a hypothetical that has been pushed by leftist politicians and media figures alike.
“The president would never ask me to do something unethical or illegal. He never has; he never will,” Blanche replied, waving off concerns about possible interference. Trump later got on Truth Social where he ripped into Bream over the interview. “Watching Fox News with Shannon Bream is always like watching the Worst of Fake News CNN,” he wrote.
“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,” the president said, noting his administration’s work on border security, the stock market, and military operations in both Iran and Venezuela, a report from Trending Politics News revealed.
He then accused Bream, along with the team at Fox News Sunday, of being “biased against MAGA, ‘TRUMP,’ and Republicans, that it is ridiculous!” The president then predicted that viewers would stop watching the program due to the disrespect of the movement and its leadership in government. “In any event, Shannon’s ‘show’ is beyond redemption,” Trump continued.
Fortunately, MAGA, which is close to 100% of the Republican Party, understands that, and watch her ‘Ratings’ start to fall,” he added. The president then compared Bream to former program host Chris Wallace, who quit Fox News in 2021 and joined leftist network CNN. “Chris Wallace was bad, but Shannon is even worse,” he wrote.
President Trump has had repeated skirmishes with various members of the press during both of his administrations. While Fox News frequently heaps praise on him, he hasn’t been shy about slamming the network when it does coverage he views as unfair or seems to follow the lead of leftist networks that have attempted to twist narratives.

One of the main enemies from the media that has been a constant thorn in the president’s side is CNN and they still remain one of his most frequent targets. For years, Trump has accused the network of pushing a radical leftist agenda in its coverage of his administration that is designed to damage his record, which is why he brought the network into his comments about Bream.
