Donald Trump has intensified his criticism of Fox News via Truth Social, accusing the network of media bias ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. Initially, Trump claimed the network has ‘completely lost its way’ and is ‘promoting Democrats’ by failing to broadcast his rallies despite high viewership. He noted tensions following the dismissal of Maria Bartiromo and the network’s decision to join a boycott of his coverage after he vetoed CNN’s White House access. He specifically cited the coverage of progressive figures, such as Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, as evidence of the network providing ‘softball interviews’ to Democrats. In recent developments, Trump has escalated these accusations, claiming the network is being ‘politically correct’ and spends disproportionate time defending ‘Dumocrats’ and exposing their viewpoints compared to Republican opponents. He has urged supporters to bypass Fox News entirely, suggesting they watch his campaign events, such as a recent rally in Kansas, via the Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN). Further tension emerged following a 30-minute interview on the program ‘Sunday Morning Futures’. Shortly after the appearance, Trump claimed the network provides disproportionate coverage to Democratic candidates, alleging that Republican opponents are being ‘invisibilized’ by the media. This friction persists despite Trump appointing former Fox figures to his cabinet, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. The dispute occurs alongside recent polling from ABC News, The Washington Post, and NBC News, which indicate a Democratic advantage of eight to ten points and place Trump’s approval rating at 33%. Tensions with other media outlets have also risen, with CNN reporting being barred from traveling on Air Force One for campaign trips, prompting threats of legal action regarding First Amendment violations. Concurrently, Trump announced a massive financial push to support the Republican campaign, stating he will spend or has already spent over $400 million. Of this, more than $300 million has been allocated toward advertising and rallies.
