The beef between former President Donald Trump and Fox News is getting ugly and is leaving an indelible mark on the early jockeying of the 2024 presidential race.
Mr. Trump has laid into Rupert Murdoch, chair of Fox Corporation, and Trump allies have piled on, accusing the nation’s most-watched news network of selling out, turning its back on the MAGA movement, and trying to tip the scales in favor of Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida.
He is among a growing faction in the Trump universe who say Mr. Murdoch, global investment billionaire Ken Griffin and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky are part of a cabal trying to derail Mr. Trump’s reelection bid. Fox News has long been viewed as the home for Republican and conservative viewpoints, much like MSNBC has been the natural habitat for Democratic and liberal voices.
“The fact that they didn’t cover President Trump on one thing he did between his announcement in Mar-a-Lago and his CPAC speech is absolutely despicable,” Mr. Fredericks said. Media row instead featured an assortment of Trump-inspired networks and talking heads, ranging from Mr. Fredericks to Right Side Broadcasting and Real America’s Voice News, which aires Mr. Bannon’s “War Room” show.
The revelations have opened up the network to stiff criticism from both the right and left, including the charge that the decision to air the bogus clams helped fuel the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
