President Donald Trump unleashed a scathing rebuke of Fox News, accusing the network of favoring Democrats while downplaying his overwhelming popularity among Republican voters.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump criticized both Fox and correspondent Peter Doocy for allowing Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona to promote Democratic healthcare policies without pushback.
“Why is Fox News and Peter Doocy putting on Democrat Senator Mark Kelly to talk about, totally unabated or challenged, Healthcare?” Trump wrote.
“The FAKE SPIN is so bad for Republicans that it is hard to believe that we WIN.”
Trump said that Fox owed its ratings to him and his supporters but has been turning that success into advantage for Democrats. He warned that the situation would become “very unfair” for Republicans once he was no longer leading the fight. “Therefore, we should fix it, NOW!” he added.
The president also accused Fox of deliberately ignoring polling that reflects his immense backing within the Republican Party.
“They refuse to put up Polls that correctly show me at 65% in Popularity, a Republican RECORD,” Trump wrote.
“But if I have a fake bad ‘Poll’ … they put them up immediately, and with gusto.”
Trump blasted the network as “one of the worst pollsters out there” and said that its attempts to be “politically correct” were alienating its core Republican viewers.
His latest comments highlight the ongoing deterioration of his relationship with Fox News — once a key ally — which he now says has aligned itself with establishment figures and Democratic talking points.
“Fox should either get on board, or get off board, NOW, but at this point, it just doesn’t make any difference to me,” Trump wrote.
“They suck up the Ratings because of us, and then spin them in the Democrats’ direction.”
The fiery post quickly gained traction online, earning thousands of shares and tens of thousands of likes within hours.
Trump’s tirade was the latest in a series of blistering attacks he’s aimed at Fox News in recent months.
Back in June, he posted that “MAGA HATES FoxNews” and accused the network of using “crooked” polling methods that consistently misrepresent his standing in elections. He asserted that Fox has “been biased against me for years.”
That same month, Trump went after Fox panelist Jessica Tarlov, saying she “soils ‘The Five’” and calling her presence “a disgrace to television broadcasting.”
Earlier, in April, Trump took direct aim at media mogul Rupert Murdoch, claiming Murdoch “has told me for years that he is going to get rid of his FoxNews, Trump Hating, Fake Pollster … This ‘pollster’ has gotten me, and MAGA, wrong for years.”
Trump has also faulted Fox for amplifying Democratic voices, blasting the network last spring for booking too many guests from the opposing party, declaring that “FoxNews spends so much time interviewing the other side that we must win, DESPITE them.”
