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 Id 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 dont 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.

(5,124 posts)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.
