Ever wonder why Fox News seems so easy on Joe Biden, even despite Biden’s historic failures? Their so called “hard news” anti-Trump are apparently working with Biden regime goons to shape the foxnews.com website, to make it more friendly to Biden. Talk about state controlled media. I’m not talking about the opinion shows like Tucker or Vanity Hannity. I’m talking about the “news” shows like the ones with hacks John Roberts, Dana Perino, Martha MacCallum and weasel Bret Baier.
BTW, has Fox News even shown the video of Biden falling off his bike? If this were Trump, it would have been repeated a million times on Fox by now.
Any given day on foxnews.com, millions of readers see negative stories about the Biden administration’s handling of the economy, crime, immigration, and Covid-19, among many other topics. But over the past year, the White House has worked behind the scenes to get more of its perspective on Fox’s website.
Before she left the White House last month, former White House press secretary JEN PSAKI met privately with Fox News digital chief PORTER BERRY to discuss the website’s portrayal of the administration, two people with knowledge told POLITICO. When he was the chief spokesperson for the Pentagon, JOHN KIRBY also regularly corresponded with Fox News’ D.C. bureau chief over items on the site.
But the White House has also dangled various carrots for the network, including exclusives for its digital reporters.
Earlier this year, JILL BIDENco-authored an op-ed on the Fox News website advocating for better government support for military families. She also called for “greater respite, relief, and emergency financial support to struggling families” and children who often help take care of American service members returning from combat overseas.
On Thursday, the site also published an opinion piece by former Alabama senator DOUG JONES advocating for the confirmation of STEVE DETTLEBACH, the administration’s nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.
The White House has also tried to fill the site’s reported (or non-opinion) articles with the administration’s perspective. The Biden administration often turns to digital reporter BROOKE SINGMAN with exclusive policies it hopes Fox News readers will see, particularly around issues like crime, law enforcement, and veterans issues, areas where the White House feels it can tweak the narratives that often become cemented among the Fox News audience. In the last several months alone, she’s gotten the exclusive on the Department of Education’s launch of a National Parents and Families Engagement Council, the National Sheriff’s Association endorsement of Dettlebach, and the White House’s allocation of $275 million to law enforcement agencies to fight the opioid epidemic.
