The former strategist for former President Donald Trump is going after Fox News. Steve Bannon called out the network for their lack of live coverage of Trump’s Saturday evening rally in Arizona.
“The Fox scam is over!” Bannon said on his “War Room” podcast. “Fox does not cover Trump at all, whatsoever. You’re not a news organization.
“What the Murdochs want is the—they want a Glenn Youngkin, or they want some nice guy who will sit there and give them tax cuts and deregulation.”
While Fox News didn’t carry Trump’s speech at his rally live on the air, it did publish news stories about the event. However, this didn’t stop Bannon from going after the network again on the social media platform GETTR.
“Fox News, which did not give one second of coverage to Donald J. Trump’s massive rally, showed no respect to anyone in the MAGA movement,” Bannon said.
“The Murdochs hate Trump and will do anything to stop his return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”
News outlets like The Daily Beast reached out to Fox News for a comment but have not yet received a response from the network.
