Donald Trump has never actually acknowledged Rupert Murdoch’s stepping down from running Fox News — or the elevation of son Lachlan.

Today, however, he’s critical of Fox News, saying they were once

“our VOICE” — whose voice, his? MAGA? But now that voice has a “serious case of laryngitis.”

He also says “Fox and Friends” is “unrecognizable.” What? Have they gone all PBS on him?

Over the weekend he also attacked NBC and MSNBC. And yet, they all still cover him. Just not with a weight blanket.
