Trump Blasts Fox News over Rally Coverage, Maria Bartiromo Exit
Trump said Fox News ignored his packed rallies and warned the network could lose viewers if the coverage does not change.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump vowed to "stop watching" Fox News, citing insufficient coverage of his Saturday rally in Vandalia, OH, and warning the conservative network could go "out of business" if coverage trends continue.
- Trump claimed his recent events in Ohio, Alabama, Texas, and Oklahoma drew "packed" crowds, asserting Fox News ignores this enthusiasm while featuring political opponents without rebuttal. He argued these rallies represent the true state of the Republican Party.
- The president singled out commentator Jessica Tarlov, stating, "We don't like stupid Jessica Tarlov," and attacked the network for recently parting ways with Maria Bartiromo. Trump alleged Bartiromo was fired for complaining about not being allowed to cover "TRUMP."
- Warning that the network risks losing viewers, Trump claimed FoxNews will "soon have the ratings of FAKE NEWS CNN or MSNOW" if coverage patterns persist. He noted that past viewer boycotts have previously affected the channel.
- A search on the media monitoring service Snapstream showed Fox & Friends covered the Vandalia rally moments before Trump's post, though the segment focused on his comments regarding data centers rather than the rally itself.
