Why is Fox News criticized for its coverage of Trump?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
I mean, Fox is more shameless than Russia state regime media. Fox is more shameless than North Korea state regime media. I mean it. I mean, Putin and Kim Jong-un must be like, hey Fox, can you maybe teach our state regime media what you're doing? Give us some tips. I mean, after Donald Trump disgraced the United States, humiliated himself with that despicable appearance in the Oval Office, where he and J.D. Vance laundered Putin's talking points to attack Ukrainian President Zelensky in the Oval Office in front of the world media. And fortunately, Zelensky stood up to Donald Trump and pushed back. And apparently that made Donald Trump have a boo-boo that hurt Donald Trump's feelings. So Trump said, peace talks are now off because Donald Trump's a petulant little third-grade bully.
Ben Meiselas 0:48
No offense to petulant third-grade bullies. So Fox... calls itself Fox News, which it isn't, they had to cover for Donald Trump. They had to say Zelensky was bad and Zelensky was rude and dear leader was so strong. So let me show you what went down. You had Laura Ingraham say the following. Let's play it.
Zelensky was like an annoying gnat. He never shut up in camouflage.
Ben Meiselas 1:15
I think she's describing herself and other Fox hosts there, like Jesse Waters, who then said the following.
Jesse Waters 1:24
We run the world. this is america's world he's our proxy this world this ends when we say it ends it doesn't end when zelinski if he wants to go it alone go it alone i'm glad we helped him russia invaded we got his back at first it was the right thing to do but now it's not now the war's over and he doesn't recognize it's over and reality is going to eat this guy alive if he doesn't recognize this What?
Ben Meiselas 1:52
He goes, we run the world. This is America's world. He's our proxy. I mean, these people are cartoonishly evil and pathetic and dumb. Like, I can't even believe what I am watching. I mean, I can, I guess, because it's Jesse Waters and Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity. But this is... So utterly pathetic. So then you have Laura Ingraham brings on the propagandist. She calls herself a press secretary, Caroline Leavitt. And she goes, oh, Zelensky was so rude. He was rude to Donald Trump. And you can't be rude to dear leader. Here, play this clip.
Caroline Leavitt 2:30
So he was on the brink of signing an economic agreement that would have ensured economic prosperity for the Ukrainian people and recouped American tax dollars for funding this war. Instead, because of his rude and antagonistic ways, the deal blew up in his face.
Ben Meiselas 2:45
I mean, she's the worst. Again, this is all so pathetic. And then they call on this guy who's like, when you're coming for a peace deal, put on a suit. Why wasn't Zelinsky wearing a suit? Here, play this clip.
Unidentified 2:59
When you're coming in for a peace deal, put a suit on. He used to wear suits. A suit is not a costume. His War Greens regalia, that's a costume, like the one he wore on the cover of Vogue in 2022. You get the feeling this whole thing is kind of dress up. I mean, he's not exactly Winston Churchill.
Yeah, well, I think when Churchill wanted America to get, involved in world war two can you imagine him coming over here and kind of insulting you know fdr yeah just strafing the whole oval office that probably would have elon musk doesn't wear suits either we should say and also wears hats and t-shirts in the oval office but that's kind of his he's not asking for money he's volunteering yeah he's volunteering his services
Unidentified 3:41
He's trying to give your money back, not take it. So, you know, you got to dress for the occasion. But boy, that thing was like WWF Friday night smack. What are these people even talking about?
Ben Meiselas 3:52
I mean, y'all see the insanity here that this is what Fox is doing. You see the, you know, the sleight of hand. They're going to turn this against Zelinsky. But this seems like it was all kind of part of the plan to begin with. You know, try to provoke a fight. and then be like, well, that's why I guess we should let Putin do the genocide in Ukraine because Donald Trump got his feelings hurt.
