I love it when they eat their own.

It seems lying liar, pardoned criminal and all around horrible excuse for a human being who is even being sued by his own lawyers, Steve Bannon, declared war on Fox's sorry excuse for a "news" station at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference, otherwise known as CPAC:

Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist under the Trump administration, tore into Fox News and the Murdoch family on Friday afternoon over the network’s coverage of former President Trump, who is mounting a second bid for the presidency.

“Note to Fox News senior management: When Donald J. Trump talks, it’s newsworthy,” Bannon said during a fiery speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), blasting Rupert Murdoch, the owner and co-chairman of Fox Corp, saying, “You’ve disrespected Donald Trump for long enough.”

Bannon, an icon in the conservative media ecosystem who has been hosting his popular “War Room” podcast from CPAC this week, blasted Fox for cutting away from Trump’s speech announcing his candidacy for president last November and what he said was a lack of coverage of his recent visit to East Palestine, Ohio.

“Is there really that much going on at two in the afternoon on Fox News that you can’t cover him live,” Bannon said. “They don’t respect you, read the depositions. They have a fear, a loathing and a contempt for you.”

Bannon was also very upset that Fox actually acted like a news organization for once when they accurately called the 2020 election for Biden. The horror!

I, for one, will be happy to see this war escalate.
