Less than three weeks before the 2024 presidential election, former President Donald Trump publicly criticized Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott, accusing the network of providing airtime to commentators with progressive viewpoints. Trump’s remarks come in response to what he perceives as a shift away from the conservative values traditionally associated with the cable news channel, where he is often featured as a guest.
Trump’s criticism came after a high-profile interview between Fox News anchor Bret Baier and Vice President Kamala Harris, which grew particularly tense when Harris’ handlers demanded that the interview be cut short as she struggled to explain why she was the candidate of change.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump questioned Scott’s decision to feature contributors like Jessica Tarlov, Richard Fowler, Patrick Murphy, Keisha Lance Bottoms and others he described as “Radical Left Lunatics.” He accused these commentators of spreading misinformation without adequate rebuttal from the network.
“Why does Suzanne Scott of Fox News keep putting on third-rate ‘talking heads’… that lie, and make up statements, with Fox, rarely having any counter to their storytelling?” Trump wrote. He continued, “It is so bad for winning the Most Important Election in the History of our Country.”
Trump also expressed frustration with the negative advertising aired by his opponents on Fox News, suggesting that the ads create a bias against his campaign. He asserted that if he wins the election, it would be “DESPITE Fox, not because of them!”
The former president’s comments came shortly after his participation in a town hall discussion on women’s issues with Fox News’ The Faulkner Focus. The town hall drew criticism from some observers, who argued that the format was overly favorable toward Trump.
In addition to the Harris interview, Fox News has recently hosted interviews with the vice presidential candidates from both major parties: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) and Senator JD Vance (R-Ohio).
Trump’s latest criticism of Fox points to ongoing tension between the former president and the network that has long served as a key platform for his political messaging, as the election enters its final days.

Fox is too liberal now! Not hoist too it heritage !!!
Anybody that votes for her is nuts.
Help Fox or lose audience
I agree completely with Trump! The Brett Baier interview with Harris was as “softball” as I have ever seen on Fox. She tromped all over him. She didn’t respond to his questions and just blathered on with her “Trash Trump” rehearsed speech. He should’ve STOPPED her when she said, “let me finish” or “I’m trying to answer your question.” SHE WAS SO OFF TOPIC it was embarrassing to watch. He did not assert himself and say that “wasn’t the question.” He let her take up air space without addressing the issues he . She accomplished her goal of ignoring the questions and just proceeded to give her “REHEARSED ANTI-TRUMP LIES!!”. That’s what made it so painful – the things she was claiming were LIES that had already been disproven and Baier knew that. It was NOT a successful interview as the other network personalities described as they reviewed how it went. Where was Brett’s fact checking during that fiasco? They all covered for his HORRIBLE INTERVIEW where Brett Baier was totally played by Kamala. What happened to his reporter integrity …I did not see it. Such a lost and wasted opportunity to call out Kanala’s blatant lies. He could’ve shot her down the way the liberal networks do to Trump. It was a TERRIBLE INTERVIEW – DON”T TRY TO SAY IT WASN’T!!! We watched it in horror & DISAPPONTMENT!

Suzanne Scott should be fired. She’s turning the only conservative network besides NEWSMAX into a liberal network. Same with Martha & Brett….I hope their individual ratings tank and their contracts get drastically reduced. None of them have been fair to president Trump. Need to get rid of Jessica Tarlov, she’s a complete b**ch!!
