CNN and MSNBC will have some great clips for the morning shows!
I suspect that those at Fox News are somewhat embittered over being shunned by DeSantis for his announcement in favour of a nice cosy chat with Elon Musk on Twitter. After that snub, it's not surprising that Fox seized the opportunity to give DeSantis a bit of a slap-down on air.
Indeed, I would imagine that the robust questioning DeSantis got from Fox today was merely a churlish reaction to that snub, rather than any indication of Fox News' future intentions to actually be fair or balanced.
The earlier front page splash on foxnews.com -- "AMATEUR HOUR: Much-hyped Ron DeSantis presidential announcement a disaster on Twitter" -- certainly had a whiff of schadenfreude around it...
