Former President Donald Trump has accused Fox News of trying to make him look bad, not politically but literally. In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump claimed that he had received complaints from supporters about the network's use of "horrible" photos of him when promoting stories. He criticized the coloring and distortions in the photos, suggesting that Fox News deliberately chooses the worst shots. Trump also mentioned that his staff has been raising this issue for months without any resolution.
It is unclear what specific incident Trump was referring to in his post, and Fox News has not yet responded to a request for comment. While the conservative-leaning network has generally been supportive of Trump and his policies, there have been recent complaints from Trump and his allies about a lack of support. These complaints have been partly fueled by the network's coverage of Trump's primary rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, as well as revelations from Dominion Voting System's lawsuit against Fox News, which revealed antipathy towards the former president among some top executives and personalities.
Trump's accusation against Fox News highlights the ongoing tension between the former president and the network. Trump's claims of biased image selection by the network, if true, could raise questions about the objectivity of media coverage. However, without further information or a response from Fox News, it is difficult to assess the validity of Trump's allegations.
