'Bullying journalists is not Presidential': Fox News anchor berates Trump for tweet

WASHINGTON — After President Donald Trump leveled a rare Twitter attack against Fox News — a network he normally praises for its favorable coverage of him — one of the conservative channel's anchors lambasted the president for "bullying journalists."

Fox News anchor Julie Banderas was outraged after Trump posted a tweet Sunday night complaining about her network's coverage of the fallout from the 35-day partial government shutdown and the negotiations for border wall funding.

"Never thought I’d say this but I think @johnrobertsFox and @GillianHTurner @FoxNews have even less understanding of the Wall negotiations than the folks at FAKE NEWS CNN & NBC!" Trump tweeted.

"@realDonaldTrump This is NOT right. I stand by my colleagues @johnrobertsFox and @GillianHTurner They don’t deserve this. No reporter does. They are doing their jobs and reporting the facts. They are not opinion journalists and deserve the respect from the @WhiteHouse they cover," Banderas said in a reply to the president's tweet.

I may be wrong about this, I just don't recall them being this outspoken when he was going after other journalists.

They can save their faux outrage as far as I am concerned.
