Not everything is as it seems over at Fox News.
Donald Trump Jr. is someone who would know.
And Donald Trump Jr. exposed a dirty truth about Fox News that you were never supposed to know.
As Conservative Reboot reports:
In an interview with Newsmax host Chris Salcedo, Trump Jr. revealed he doesn’t watch Fox News anymore because of what he sees as the network bending over backwards to accommodate Democrats.
“Honestly, I don’t watch it anymore because it is so ridiculous,” Trump Jr. explained.
Trump Jr. told Salcedo that Fox News executives and reporters yearn for the approval of their liberal media colleagues, so they give free rein to Democrats to say whatever they want, which Trump Jr. explained is a form of bias against conservatives.
“They try so hard to be unbiased that they’re actually biased against conservatives at this point,” Trump Jr. added. “But this shouldn’t be surprising.”
As evidence, Trump Jr. pointed to how Fox News banned him from the network for nearly three years as punishment for his support of his father’s contesting of the 2020 election.
Trump Jr. said Fox News also banned Donald Trump from the air following the 2022 midterm election, an exile that lasted nearly seven months.
“These are networks that banned me for two-and-a-half. I’m barely on anymore. I know my father was banned,” Trump Jr. continued.
“But that’s what happens when you have a more RINO network,” Trump Jr. stated.
Fox News banned Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr. from the network because Rupert Murdoch blamed Donald Trump’s challenging the results of the 2020 election and January 6 for the disappointing results of the 2022 midterm election.
“Everyone knows that there’s this ‘soft ban’ or ‘silent ban,‘” a Trumpworld told Semafor I 2023. “It’s certainly — however you want to say, quiet ban, soft ban, whatever it is — indicative of how the Murdochs feel about Trump in this particular moment.”
Rupert Murdoch supports amnesty for illegal aliens and the war in Ukraine, positions that Trump opposes.
Murdoch wants to move the GOP back to the party of the Bushes, McCains and Romneys.
And Murdoch hoped banning Trump and promoting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis would push GOP voters to move on from Trump.
Trump Jr. isn’t the only prominent Trump supporter Fox News banned.
Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Megyn Kelly called out Fox News for its glowing coverage of Kirk, even though Fox had banned Kirk from going on the air because he supported Trump challenging the 2020 election and backed Tucker Carlson after Fox fired him.
“It’s really bothering me how Fox News is talking about Charlie, like he was theirs — he wasn’t. It’s a lie. Just stop,” Kelly told listeners.
“Fox News, they wouldn’t put Charlie on, OK?” Kelly added. “I know this from my own behind-the-scenes conversations, and I’m not going to specify from whom. But they were annoyed on Team Charlie because he was banned. They wouldn’t put him on. He had been too supportive of Tucker.”
Fox News’ establishment bent is why podcasts are now a growing source of news with shows like those from Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly turning into the prime source of news for conservatives.
