When Ingraham invoked Americans' dour outlook — "Why are people saying they are anxious about the economy? Why are they saying that?" — Trump leaned on his fake-polls crutch: "I don't know that they are saying that. I think polls are fake." Read on:
‘MAGA backlash’: Laura Ingraham challenged Trump in a way few Fox hosts ever do | CNN Business
President Trump’s Fox News interviewers are sometimes so promotional and deferential that little gets challenged, and almost no news is ever made. Ingraham was more strategic than that.

Laura Ingraham framed her questions in a positive light for POTUS, while still conveying GOP voter concerns about cost of living, etc. For instance: The 50-year mortgage proposal. This idea "has enraged your MAGA friends," she said. Trump didn't want to hear it:

My 2 cents: The Trump docu screwup is just one small part of a big story. There are near-daily disputes over the BBC's Israel/Gaza coverage; equally frequent attacks from BBC rivals; and the looming license fee review. When you run the Beeb, the pressure is relentless; the job can feel thankless.

These are "febrile times," Tim Davie said as he announced his resignation. I'll save you the Googling: Dictionary dot com defines "febrile” as "a more formal way of saying feverish — having a fever." And the arguments over the BBC have definitely been fevered.
