In three tweets Sunday afternoon, the president called for an "alternative" to the right-leaning news network.
....Even the Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats laughed at the Fox suggestion. No respect for the people running @FoxNews. But Fox keeps on plugging to try and become politically correct. They put RINO Paul Ryan

Trump attacked numerous figures in the tweets, including former Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who joined the board of Fox News in March of last year, and former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile

Fox News representatives did not return a request for comment on the president's tweets. His remarks come as right-wing cable news outlet One America News Network has pushed in recent weeks for the president's public support, tweeting in March that it called "bullshit" after Trump failed to mention the network by name at a campaign rally.
"Anyone who knows @OANN, knows we've reported REAL news since DAY ONE. Our young people work very hard to do that, so to be mentioned by the President means a lot more to them than to the established media elites," added the network's CEO, Robert Herring, in a tweet.
