    Fox News labelled US president Joe Biden a “wannabe dictator” who attempted to have “his political rival arrested” during a live broadcast of Donald Trump’s post-arraignment speech.

    The network was the only major cable news network to carry Trump’s Tuesday evening speech live, with CNN and MSNBC choosing not to air the address.

    Towards the end of the speech, viewers were presented with a split screen carrying a separate speech from Biden at the White House. Below the image, the news chyron read: “wannabe dictator speaks at the White House after having his political rival arrested”.

    Nice to see Fox parodying a news channel.

    How egregious. This will just get idiots killed. Fox lied to its viewers for years. Why the heck do those people keep falling for faux news? Why?

    It looks like Tucker Carlson is still on the FoxNews premises. Maybe they keep him in a bathroom like where Trump kept classified documents. And like the boxes at Mar-a-Lago, they move Tucker around at FoxNews as necessary, while he contributes to things like the subject "wannabe dictator" caption. Like Trump just couldn't let those boxes leave Mar-a-Lago, Tucker just can't leave FoxNews.

    In my head--- UF
    The former guy has himself said numerous times he will ask DOJ to indict JB

    He wants to do exactly what he complains of - if elected

    Fox was highly irresponsible.

    Biden is the duly elected president

    More evidence that the constant claims that Fox is just conservative version of CNN, NYT, etc., are absurd.
    That said, this is pretty extreme even for Fox.

    Their representative(s) in the WH press room should be walked out today not to return.

    Fox News needs to be taken off the air permanently. I’m serious, they’re a legitimate threat to our democracy with all the constant lies and bullshit they spew, and the unhinged people who follow their garbage will act on these lies that they spread. See January 2021.

    We need all kids and grandkids visiting their parents or grandparents to put a parental lock on it, never admit to it and never give them the password.

    loyal viewers.

    They are showing restraint by calling him "wannabe", that's called being fair and balanced.

    I did this to my father in law, a highly intelligent and very successful lawyer and sadly he loves Fox. I got a call Monday at 6pm from my MIL and I knew exactly why :) sorry big guy, child lock for those who can’t learn from their mistakes. And they are so bad at tech, he had to enter in the 4 digit code every time cause they didn’t know how to undo it.

    I’m all about freedom of press, but when one station continually lies, and allows their lies to filter down to their base who then act on these lies, actions need to have consequences. You’re free to lie about whatever you want and spread damaging propaganda, but you shouldn’t be free from facing the heat when it backfires on you.

    It’s childish. Fox is treating their viewers like school kids. Embarrassing.
