US President Donald Trump has accused Fox News of giving excessive coverage to Democratic Party candidates in the run-up to the mid-term congressional elections. The US leader is unhappy that the conservative broadcaster is not giving enough attention to the Republicans and his campaign rallies.<\/p>\n
Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n In recent weeks, the US President has repeatedly criticised the television channel on his social media platform, Truth Social. According to him, Fox News devotes too much airtime to the Republicans\u2019 political opponents.<\/p>\n 25 October Trump<\/strong> stated that candidates from his party remain under-represented in the media, whilst the Democrats are regularly given the opportunity to address the channel\u2019s audience.<\/p>\n \u00abFox is doing too little to help,\u00bb wrote the president.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n He also suggested that it is the Democrats\u2019 coverage that makes the election race more competitive. Trump did not provide any evidence of a direct influence of the channel\u2019s editorial policy on the voting results.<\/p>\n One of the causes of the conflict was a Fox News interview with a Democrat Abdul El-Sayed<\/strong>, who is standing for election to the US Senate from the state of Michigan.<\/p>\n Trump criticised the presenter Martha McCallum<\/strong>, accusing her of being too lenient towards the politician. The President also expressed his dissatisfaction that his own campaign speeches, in his view, were not receiving enough attention.<\/p>\n The criticism also extended to other Fox News programmes featuring Democratic Party candidates and independent politicians.<\/p>\n The President\u2019s Senior Adviser on Trade and Industry joined the debate Peter Navarro<\/strong>. He criticised Fox News for its coverage of the White House\u2019s economic policy, in particular for its negative assessments of the administration\u2019s tariff decisions.<\/p>\n Navarro stated that the channel should be representing a conservative audience, yet its journalists are criticising the President\u2019s key initiatives. The adviser called on viewers to stop watching Fox News.<\/p>\n Previously, similar claims had been made by the former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon<\/strong>, who accused the channel\u2019s management of failing to provide sufficient support for the MAGA movement.<\/p>\n\n
