Liberals used to mock Fox News as “state TV” during the Trump years.
That criticism was always a lie and it’s one even more so now.
That’s because Fox News just banned Donald Trump in a major 2024 shakeup.
Joe Biden refused to visit East Palestine, Ohio, the site of a Norfolk Southern train derailment that spilled toxic chemicals.
Residents feared the compounds released in the wreck poisoned the air and water.
Biden and his Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, ignored the people of East Palestine because they are rural Americans who vote Republican.
The Biden administration made it clear the people of Ukraine and woke diversity, equity and inclusion ideology were its true priorities.
Biden traveled to Ukraine to play-act with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky like they were brave visiting the frontlines.
And Buttigieg spent his time complaining about the number of white people that worked in construction.
Donald Trump visited the people of East Palestine bringing a message, supplies, and a reminder that not everyone forgot about them.
Since Donald Trump is one of the frontrunners for the GOP nomination and he was calling out the Biden administration for neglecting an ecological disaster, cable news networks should have covered the trip.
MSNBC and CNN did not.
That’s not a surprise as many Americans see that those two networks work on behalf of the Democrat Party.
But Fox News blacked out the Trump East Palestine visit with only Newsmax and OANN providing coverage.
Mediaite reports:
Former President Donald Trump’s live remarks from East Palestine, Ohio were ignored by the three major cable news networks on Wednesday.
Newsmax and OAN, both to the right of Fox News, carried the remarks live and offered analysis following the event.
Fox News ignoring Trump appears to be an editorial edict passed down from on high.
After the midterm elections the New York Post — which is owned by Rupert Murdoch — reported that Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch told Trump that he would no longer support Trump’s candidacy for president.
“We have been clear with Donald. There have been conversations between them during which Rupert made it clear to Donald that we cannot back another run for the White House,” a News Corp source told the Post.
Murdoch’s son Lachlan — who runs Fox News — reportedly supports Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for president in 2024.
Lachlan Murdoch, the heir apparent and eldest son, who co-chairs News Corp and runs the parent company of Fox News, has reportedly told DeSantis that the group would back him if he ran in the next election. “Lachlan has been keen on Ron for some time,” said the i’s source. “He’s viewed within the organization as a sanitized version of Donald.”
The Fox News blackout of Trump’s East Palestine trip backfired as Trump posted on Truth Social that video of his visit went viral on social media with tens of millions of Americans seeing Trump standing in solidarity with the forgotten men and women of America.
