During TFG’s post campaign rally indictment speech he delivered at Bedminster following his court hearing on 37 federal felonies, including violating parts of the Espionage Act, Fox ‘News’ ran a banner that read read: “Wannabe dictator speaks at the White House after having his political rival arrested.”
The chyron appeared on screen for 27 seconds — and quickly went viral on social media. The network removed it and according to press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre they removed it for millions of reasons:
Her comments about “787 million” were in reference to the settlement in April between Dominion Voting Systems and Fox News, in which Fox agreed to pay $787.5 million in a defamation lawsuit.
In a statement Wednesday, a spokesperson for the network said: “The chyron was taken down immediately and was addressed.”
The spokesperson did not respond to an email that asked whether there would be any consequences for the staff members behind the text in the graphic, known as a chyron.
Shitholes Rejoice:
Some conservatives, meanwhile, cheered the graphic. “Whoever Wrote This Chyron at Fox News Deserves a Massive Raise,” declared the website Townhall.
