Trump Slams Fox News for Giving Democrats Platform

He claimed the network gives Democrats more airtime than pro-Republicans and accused it of repeating a “completely negative narrative.” The post also repeated his false assertion that he “won all three Elections,” referencing the 2020 presidential race.

Trump has a long record of attacking media outlets, yet Fox News has historically been praised by him and has supplied former network personalities to his administration. Earlier, he targeted “Fox News Sunday” anchor Shannon Bream, criticizing the show’s guests, charts, and polls for not highlighting his administration’s achievements. He also disparaged former anchor Chris Wallace, calling Bream “even worse.” In the weeks preceding the Wednesday post, Fox News announced it would not cover the president after he barred three media outlets from the White House earlier this month.

President Trumpon’s Truth Social messages framed Fox News as hostile to “MAGA, and REAL Patriots,” suggesting the network’s ratings would fall as a result. Fox News has not issued a comment; The Hill noted it reached out for a response. The network’s recent decision to limit coverage of the president underscores a growing tension between the outlet and the former commander-in-chief.

• “In any event, Shannon’s ‘show’ is beyond redemption. Fortunately, MAGA, which is close to 100% of the Republican Party, understands that, and watch her ‘Ratings’ start to fall,” — Trump

Trump’s public condemnation may deepen the rift between the former president’s base and a major cable news platform that has traditionally catered to conservative viewers. If Fox News reduces its coverage of Trump-aligned events, the network could see shifts in audience composition and advertising revenue, while Trump’s supporters may turn to alternative media that align more closely with their perspective. The dispute highlights the broader struggle over narrative control in the post-presidential media landscape.
