Former President Donald Trump ripped Fox News as being biased against him just hours after an interview he sat for with network anchor Maria Bartiromo aired on Sunday.
On Sunday Morning Futures, Trump and Bartiromo spoke about a number of topics in the final leg of the 2024 election.
However, after the interview aired on the network for a second time, Trump took to his Truth Social account to slam Fox News and claim that Republicans need to win the 2024 election “DESPITE them.” Trump wrote:
FoxNews spends so much time interviewing the other side that we must win, DESPITE them. So crazy! People like Fowler, Wolf, Murphy, Tarloff(?), and others, with little or no competent pushback. They want to be ”Fair and Balanced,” just like CNN & MSDNC! Conservatives want a real voice. The two “new readers,” A.N. & E.S., on NOW, are TERRIBLE!

“Tarloff” was presumably a reference to network Democrat and cohost of The Five Jessica Tarlov, while “A.N.” and “E.S.” are Arthel Neville and Eric Shawn, who were on the air at the time of Trump’s post. In the hour leading up to Trump’s post, Neville interviewed a former FEMA official who criticized Trump for spreading misinformation about disaster relief. And left-leaning contributor Richard Fowler was brought in for a segment where he slammed the former president.
Trump has a long history of attacking Fox News, and has ramped up his criticism of the network of late. Last month, he ripped Fox News for airing a portion of a speech from Vice President Kamala Harris last month while campaigning in Arizona. He said:
And then I have to sit there and listen to her bullshit last night. And who puts it on Fox News? And they shouldn’t be allowed to put it on. It’s all lies. It’s all lies. Everything she said is a lie. But it all stops the moment I raise my hand and take the oath of office as your 47th president of the United States.
