Former President Donald Trump has criticized Fox News, accusing the network of providing insufficient coverage to a series of recent rallies. He warned that this could result in a decline in ratings for the network. Trump voiced his concerns in a Truth Social post made on Sunday morning.
Trump questioned the leadership at Fox News and commented on the recent departure of Maria Bartiromo. This critique comes amid an ongoing legal battle between the White House and media outlets such as CNN, MS NOW, and Politico regarding their access to the White House.
Trump Targets Fox News Coverage
In his social media message, Trump expressed dissatisfaction that Fox & Friends Weekend did not adequately cover rallies held in Ohio, Alabama, Texas, and Oklahoma. He highlighted that these events attracted large crowds and demonstrated substantial enthusiasm within the Republican Party.
Trump claimed that competing networks were providing more extensive coverage of the rallies. He suggested that Fox News viewers desired more reporting on these events. Trump criticized some of the network’s programming decisions, including the focus on commentator Jessica Tarlov, and accused Fox News of giving too much airtime to political opponents.
Trump cautioned that neglecting to cover the rallies could negatively impact the network’s audience. He suggested that viewers would “very quickly stop watching” if Fox News persisted with this approach.
