In the paint

Did something seem oddly familiar about this morning's Fair 'n' Balanced lead story?

President Trump responded by Twitter on Friday night to a CNN anchor's recent interview with an NBA superstar.

"Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn't easy to do. I like Mike!" Trump tweeted.

"Recent interview," you say? Could that have been ... the topic of Tuesday's lead story?

LeBron James criticized President Trump on Monday, accusing him of trying to divide the country by using sports as his focal point.

The new Los Angeles Lakers star said Trump created a wedge by capitalizing on the controversy surrounding former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem.

It's hard at this remove to tell who's dunking on whom, given that the president seems to be practicing his set shot while LeBron either calms the crowd or rubs the invisible magic lamp that summons Don Lemon. But the Fox treatment does suggest that there's one whiny, dumb snowflake on the court here, and it isn't either one of the smart people who did an interview on Monday.
