Executives for conservative Newsmax and One America News Network say they already have picked up disaffected Fox viewers as President Trump urges his fans to turn the channel.

Trump turned up the pressure on the Fox News Channel on today, telling his 63 million followers on Twitter that “we have to start looking for a new News Outlet” because “Fox isn’t working for us anymore!”

The president’s grievance is with the network’s news side, which includes anchors like Shepard Smith and Bret Baier, and with the channel’s stable of Democratic contributors, including his top two targets, Donna Brazile and Juan Williams.

Just watched @FoxNews heavily promoting the Democrats through their DNC Communications Director, spewing out whatever she wanted with zero pushback by anchor, @SandraSmithFox. Terrible considering that Fox couldn’t even land a debate, the Dems give them NOTHING! @CNN & @MSNBC….

….are all in for the Open Border Socialists (or beyond). Fox hires “give Hillary the questions” @donnabrazile, Juan Williams and low ratings Shep Smith. HOPELESS & CLUELESS! They should go all the way LEFT and I will still find a way to Win – That’s what I do, Win. Too Bad!….

….I don’t want to Win for myself, I only want to Win for the people. The New @FoxNews is letting millions of GREAT people down! We have to start looking for a new News Outlet. Fox isn’t working for us anymore!

“I think whats he’s doing is: he’s basically threatening the executives and saying, ‘I’ll beat you up and it will hurt you with your audience if you lose some of my base and it’ll create disunity and discord within Fox,” said Carl Cameron, who spent more than 20 years reporting for the company. “Whether these are idle threats or real ones, what he’s trying to do is express his dismay to the executives and see if they can make a difference for him.”

Trump has long sniped at the network on Twitter, but Wednesday’s broadside contained an unusual call to action, and one welcomed by the two television news companies that have been trying to nip at Fox’s heels: Newsmax and One America News Network.

“We’re appreciative to have an avid consumer of One America News in the White House,” said network president Charles Herring. “From direct viewer engagement, we’re aware of some Fox News viewers moving over to One America News. Fox News has made several decisions in the last several months that some historic viewers see as a clear fundamental direction change.”

Newsmax boss Chris Ruddy also played ball, touting his network’s reach and taking a dig at the Goliath of the conservative news world. “There is a growing disenchantment with Fox News and we are definitely seeing a rise in viewership with Newsmax,” he said.

What’s unclear, as always, is whether the president actually wants his fans to stop watching Fox and switch to something else.

He’s still enamored with the network’s opinion hosts, including Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson and Jeanine Pirro.

“He’s essentially asking for a boycott,” said Cameron. “Anybody who predicts whether Trump’s gonna stick to what he says — that’s a losing gambit.”

Another Fox News veteran, Democratic strategist and former contributor Julie Roginsky, isn’t exactly buying the president’s animus.

“Trump will never abandon Fox News, because no other network has the ability to reach Republican base voters the way Fox does,” she said. “It is an idle threat to keep Fox in line, and it is a threat that may work, although Fox suddenly has other tools at its disposal to keep him in line as well.”

As usual, Trump’s attack was spurred on by something he saw on Fox News — in this case, a news-side interview with Democratic National Committee communications chief Xochitl Hinojosa.

“While it’s laughable that Trump is now in a fight with Fox News, the troubling part is that the president of the United States chooses to watch TV and tweet over doing his job,” she said.

Roginsky said that Trump’s entanglement with Fox News would be different under the late Roger Ailes.

“Trump might have watched Fox suddenly provide significant air time to Joe Walsh as a warning that the network is not to be trifled with,” she said.
