More sheer and utter stupidity to report from the land of Truth Social.
Days after a verified account for Fox News popped up on Donald Trump‘s disastrous social media platform, a spokesperson for the conservative propaganda network issued a statement saying the account is unauthorized.
“We are not on Truth Social,” the spokesperson confirmed yesterday.
Awkward!

It’s an embarrassing blow to the app as investors likely saw Fox News’ brief, albeit fake, participation as a sign that maybe, just maybe, the struggling site still has a slim chance for survival.
Even more embarrassing is that, shortly before Fox News issued the statement, Devin Nunes, who quit Congress to oversee the rollout of the app, took to his Truth Social profile to cheer the network’s presence, writing: “Great to have RSS feed for @FoxNews now LIVE here on TRUTH! This adds to @OAN and @NewsMax.”
It’s unclear who created the Fox News account in the first place, or how it got verified, but Axios reports similar accounts bearing the names of other brands, including NASCAR and NASA, appear on the platform, although the profiles have disclaimers indicating they are bot accounts.
Trump Media & Technology Group has not issued any comment on the embarrassing Fox News snafu, but Twitter sure has a lot to say about it…
Too gross even for Fox?https://t.co/qDXAcbTVmQ

Will @DevinNunes sue Fox News? 😂😂

“Truth Social” tests negative even for those with affinity to false propaganda!! Wonder why that is!🤣

Fox would rather not be associated with anything having truth in its name.

Oooo…sounds like @DevinNunes needs a little ‘cease and desist’ order.

Wait, somehow lied about who they were on “Truth Social”?
You can’t make this crap up…🤣

Truth social is HUGE even TITANIC!
Sinking faster than a Russian Black Sea flag ship

Remember when Devin Nunes resigned from Congress to operate Truth Social?
What a joke.

A March report by Sensor Tower revealed Truth Social suffered a 93% drop in new signups since going live in February.
The app saw downloads fall by more than 800,000 in just a few weeks, with installs on the Apple app store dropping to barely 60,000 per week.
On top of that, weekly visits by people who already had the app fell to 1.9 million, from a high of 6 million when it first launched.
Per the Daily Beast:
In recent weeks, sources have heard the former president on the phone swearing gratuitously and asking things like, “What the f*ck is going on” with Truth Social.
He’s repeatedly groused about the negative press and the less-than-stellar optics of the rollout, these sources said. And he’s demanded to know why more people aren’t using it—why the app isn’t swiftly dominating the competition.

A complete debacle, just like Don the Con! If you signed up, who knows where your info and user data will end up!

Here’s the MOST embarrassing news: CNN’s new online site only has 10,000 subscribers, and the CNN honchos are going crazy because they’re losing money because people are fed up with CNN’s left-wing bias.
Twitter is being bought by Elon Musk and he will bring free speech back to this platform; enough of the left-wingers at Twitter censoring anyone it disagrees with.
Joe Biden’s approval rating is now a record low for any President after 18 months in office: Only 33% approve of the job he’s doing (Quinnipiac Poll, April 14, 2022).
Come November, 2022, the Democrats are going to lose big. Democrat strategist: James Carville: “Political bloodbath coming for Democrats this November.” That couldn’t happen to a more deserving crowd of people.

@BennyTheHill, Bless your tiny little heart. I must say it is quite apropos that you chose that nom de plume. After all, your trolling of Queerty is just as cringy, tired, and outdated as his comedy.
Stefano
It is so sad for the gays in the U.S. but it is clear that Trump will be President again on 2024. Joe the turtle isn’t doing a great job.
BennyTheHill
BaltoSteve & Stefano:
CNN today: “Joe Biden’s Approval Rating Worst in Elected History.”
Quinnipiac/Washington Post Poll: Biden has the lowest approval rating of any President in office: 33%!!!
Worse than Trump’s??? YES!!!
I guess the voters are VERY mad about these things:
Soaring inflation
Soaring illegal immigration
Soaring crime rates
Soaring homelessness
Soaring gas prices
Covid on the rise again
Lockdowns looming because of Biden’s inability to end Covid – as he said he’d do in his FIRST year
The debacle and deaths in the abrupt and unprepared pullout of Afghanistan
On the brink of nuclear war with Russia
Biden opposed the parents’ rights/anti-pedophile/anti-grooming law in Florida
BaltoSteve
Oh, Benny bless your tiny little heart pumpkin. It’s adorable how you try so hard to be relevant, but so sad when you fail.
Mr. Stadnick
“If it say trump is has to be crap”. Isn’t that their motto?
BennyTheHill
You got it wrong: Biden is full of crap and the American people now know this:
CNN today: “Joe Biden’s Approval Rating Worst in Elected History.”
Worse than Trump’s??? YES!!!
LOL!!!
theherald
@Benny, Trump’s approval rating on this day four years ago was .9% lower than Biden’s, aggregating all the polls. (Biden 41.6, Trump 40.7) Basically, they’re tied. Which is bad news for Biden, considering how badly Trump wound up losing.
BennyTheHill
theherald:
CNN: “Biden’s approval rating sits at 33%. The worst for any elected President.”
LOL!!!

It’s so sad and ironic that the author of this article can’t see how their own words are dropping in hypocrisy.
BennyTheHill
How many come to the Queerty website? 50? Perhaps 100? Queerty shouldn’t be highlighting any other site’s readership.
Den
At Benny the idiot:
If they did not have verifiable traffic, they would not have the advertisers they do. How much of a dullard are you , exactly? Hoe does someone like you even manage to dress and feed themselves, let alone use the bathroom? Is your caretaker posting for you to keep your tantrums to a minimum?

I think you mean DRIPPING. But at least you spelt hypocrisy correct. (Thanks spell check!)

LOL. LOL. LOL.
And the f?rher has just announced that if Musk, that is if Musk is successful in buying Twitter, offer him his Twitter account back he will decline as Truth Social is going to be BIG and WONDERFUL!
And please BennyTheHill, new fake screenname for the troll of note, don’t respond with your crap. You boring.
BaltoSteve
Well, looks like they have some limited internet access in Russia again, the only thing missing from Benny’s pathetic excuse at misdirection is the Red Wave coming in the fall. And let’s be honest, that is the only thing that separates that from one of Marcy’s.

BennyTheTroll = MarcyMayer/BarryM/James Hart. Basic rhetorical analysis gives that away. They have only one thing they can tout, which is braying about the Fall 2022 elections. They have no response to the debacle that is Don the Con and the utter disaster he left, his attempted coup, his treasonous behavior in relation to Russia, his grotesque corruption, or anything. They have zilch, except to rage on against Biden. But hey, if that sends them into fits, so be it!

Say what you will about Trump (who – by the way – I don’t like) or the Republican Party; the Democrat Party will be DEMOLISHED this November because Biden and the Democrats are DESTROYING America and the polls prove that the American voters know that for a fact!!!
LOL!!!
