President Trump took to Twitter on Saturday evening to criticize Fox News and their decision to invite fired FBI Director James Comey and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff on their network.
“Hard to believe that @FoxNews will be interviewing sleazebag & totally discredited former FBI Director James Comey, & also corrupt politician Adam ‘Shifty’ Schiff,” the President wrote. “Fox is trying sooo hard to be politically correct, and yet they were totally shut out from the failed Dem debates!”

“Both Commiecast MSNBC & Fake News CNN are watching their Ratings TANK,” Trump added in another tweet. “Fredo on CNN is dying. Don’t know why @FoxNews wants to be more like them? They’ll all die together as other outlets take their place. Only pro-Trump Fox shows do well.”
“How’s Shep doing?” Trump added, referencing former Fox News host Shep Smith who resigned from the network.

Schiff and Comey appeared on “Fox News Sunday” morning segment with the Democratic lawmaker defending the ongoing impeachment effort.

BizPac Review adds:
In that second tweet, Trump pointed out CNN anchor Chris “Fredo” Cuomo’s numbers are in a nosedive, as well as called out distant memory Shep Smith who resigned from Fox News in October with “the lowest-rated show” on the conservative network.
Smith was one of a handful of anti-Trumpers on Fox News, and Trump was happy to point out that his ratings showed that.
Comey is still trying to argue the Steele dossier was true on Fox News Sunday.

Ahead of his appearance on Fox News, the former FBI Director tweeted in support of his actions leading the intelligence bureau.
“So it was all lies. No treason. No spying on the campaign. No tapping Trump’s wires. It was just good people trying to protect America,” Comey said with a Washington Post op-ed.
