Fox News' decision to ignore or shun former President Donald Trump is "not surprising," roving media critic and former New York City Commissioner Brian Andersson says.
Last Friday, The New York Times reported Fox News has decided to downplay Trump and has not had him on-air for over 100 days.
"I would say they are shunning him," Andersson told Newsmax's "John Bachman Now," predicting Fox News will very occasionally have Trump on air.
"Don't be surprised if he's back on this week just to show he's not banned, but he's effectively banned."
Andersson said he was shocked Fox News would cancel Trump, as he remains one of the Republican Party's most influential personages and a leading candidate for 2024.
"I just don't know how you profess to be a news reporting organization and ignore a former president," he added.
"Murdoch never really supported [Trump]. He backed Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and then John Kasich in the 2016 primaries, and then only reluctantly backed him. Trump himself has said they were always against me until I won."
Andersson also cited The Washington Post report this week that claimed Fox News and Murdoch were so unhappy with Trump in 2016, they actually considered endorsing Hillary Clinton.
Andersson added that the Murdochs donated tens of millions to various Clinton campaigns and their foundation, offering the caveat that, as a New York-operated corporation, it was a business necessity.

It seems hard to believe Fox News actually could think they could not report on anything about Trump going forward.
Even more reason to reflect Trump

What TV news source is available without a subscription?
I never watch TV, but I need substitute for my wife.
Trump has been shitting all over Fox for two years. Are they supposed to turn around and kiss his rear?
The cultists are going to be surprised when he doesn’t make it deep in ‘24.
The general public is just tired of him. They don’t want to see him on Fox.
Call them and leave a message that you won’t be watching them because they are not reporting news and are trying to censor Trump. I did, because they won’t take emails that they don’t like.
“roving media critic and former New York City Commissioner Brian Andersson says.”
Did fox News appoint him their spokesperson or something?
Eff Fox.
Agree with your sentiment!
I pay the $5 a month for OAN.
Fox was always a neocon station basically acting as gatekeepers for conservatives but Trump still brings in the ratings so I doubt they will never have him on again.
I think you have that backass wards. Strange how you view this, you must be another Never Trumper...
IF, and that’s a big IF, the “general public is tired of Trump, it is because media and liberals have spent over 2500 days, twenty four hours a day, whining, investigating, lying, cheating and impeaching him. THIS has been their plan from the beginning, to create Trump fatigue, REGARDLESS of the lies to the American people. It was at ALL cost.
We don’t have “news reporting” organizations anymore. We have corporate run propaganda yellow journalism clown shows.
Real Americas Voice, NewsMax and NDT TV which is the TV channel for Epoch Times.
Is he saying these things because FOX called Arizona for Biden while people were still voting? And did so because they wanted to get rid iof Trump?
The folks at Fox get one vote each. Good luck guys.
I like the evening line up at NewMax. Eric Bolling, Rob Schmitt, weekdays John Bachman, also like weekend mornings (Carl Higby) the carry all the Trump Rally’s,
The Murdochs seek to return the Bush dynasty to their throne, and they helped to start it.
