It’s been well established that self-proclaimed “journalists” at corporate-controlled media outlets believe it’s their job to “stop” Donald Trump.
That includes those who work for Fox News.
And what Donald Trump did after these Fox News hosts chastised him will leave you rolling in laughter.
You don’t dislike the media enough
The ABC News-hosted Presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris fully exposed the collusion between Democrats and their media allies.
From ABC News moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis, who just happens to have been part of the same college sorority as Kamala, “fact-checking” everything Trump says – even when it turns out it was many of their “fact-checks” that were actually lies – to throwing Kamala softballs and not pushing back once when she refused to answer a question or pushed verifiably false claims, it was abundantly clear to the majority of Americans who haven’t been completely brainwashed by Democrats that the entire ordeal was a total farce.
As a matter of fact, an ABC News whistleblower has even released a sworn affidavit in which they fully expose the collusion going on behind-the-scenes between the Kamala campaign and self-proclaimed “journalists.”

With everything stacked against him, it’s a bit of a minor miracle that Trump escaped that debate without being severely damaged in the eyes of many undecided, independent voters.
And it should come as no surprise that after experiencing such a rigged debate, the former President is going to be wary moving forward about taking part in debates with self-proclaimed “journalists” who have hit him with blatantly biased attacks.
That was proven immediately following the debate when Trump appeared on Fox News for an interview on Fox & Friends in which Steve Doocy asked about the possibility of him and Kamala agreeing to take part in a proposed Fox News debate with Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum moderating.
Needless to say, the former President wasn’t too keen on taking part in a debate moderated by Baier and MacCallum after seeing them attack him in the same way ABC News and other biased media outlets did with their post-debate coverage.
“I wouldn’t want to have Martha and Bret,” Trump said, dismissing the notion out of hand.
“I’d love to have somebody else other than Martha and Bret,” he added.
Trump draws a line in the sand
The former President noted that Baier and MacCallum spent their time “analyzing” the debate by focusing on ABC News’ supposed “fact-checks,” such as Trump’s reference to numerous complaints out of Springfield, Ohio that the Haitian immigrant population – some 20,000 Haitians bussed into the city of just over 50,000 and given “temporary protective status” by the Biden-Harris regime – rather than pointing out that Kamala is pretending as though she hasn’t been in office for three and a half years, and would somehow represent a “change” from the “status quo” of President Joe Biden.
After @BretBaier reports Kamala Harris was well prepared for the debate and Trump took the bait, @marthamaccallum attacks the @ABC moderators, then says Trump probably shouldn't have been going down "a few cat and dog holes"

Instead, Trump expressed his interest in having commentators like Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters, or Laura Ingraham moderate a potential Fox News debate.
“I’d love to have, frankly, Sean [Hannity], or Jesse [Watters], or Laura [Ingraham],” Trump told Fox & Friends. “You know, somebody else. Let’s give other people a shot. But I didn’t think Martha and Bret were good last night. Jesse was fantastic last night, what he said. Jesse really got it. Jesse said Trump won the debate.”
Unsurprisingly, Doocy, who at times has been as big of a Never-Trumper as any Fox News talking head, defended Baier and MacCallum, claiming they “would do a phenomenal job.”
Of course, all of the talk about a potential Fox News debate is likely for naught.
Despite claiming that they’d accept another debate, there’s literally a less than zero percent chance that Kamala ever agrees to a debate on Fox News.
Kamala and her campaign reportedly made clear in the original debate negotiations that led to the ABC News debacle that they were only interested in having the debate on that specific network.
The last thing she or her handlers want is for all the heavy lifting that went into tipping the scales in her favor during the first debate to go out the window because she agreed to take part in a debate in which she’d actually be pressed on the issues and her failed record.
And so, with Trump also weary of taking part in any debate that doesn’t cater to him the same way ABC News catered to Kamala, it’s most likely that Americans have seen the only debate of this election cycle.
