Former President Trump called Fox News when the Capitol building was under attack on January 6th, 2021. He wanted them to put him on air, but the news channel refused to do so. Because they felt it was baseless, and the president was in the house while it was happening. He had the power to stop it, but he chose to call them, which is unethical. The phone call information was brought up a few days ago, and the committee has been working on the January 6th investigation since last year.
Fox News Is Facing Lawsuit
Just because Fox News didn’t feel Trump was doing the right thing, Trump’s legal team or the dominion has pressed charges against them. And Fox News’s legal team has been fighting aggressively. The news channel felt the story lacked something. The call with the Fox News channel was not prominent until now, and an investigation found that call records a few days ago.
There are some major gaps but they exist. Fox News felt it would be showing irresponsibility to the people of the state if they put the president on air, his hysteria might cause unnecessary chaos among the residents. It could have affected many people in many easy, which it actually did. The parent company and Fox News both denied any kind of wrongdoing and mischaracterization.
And even Fox also spread how trump was doing during his defeat, not only that Trump’s attorney Sidney Powell was lying during his campaign in 2020. Fox Channel Tucker Carlson has caught her, and other attorneys’ names related to Trump surfaced like Rudy Guiliani. The Chairman of Fox has said he would go to any extent to stop Trump’s lies about his votes being stolen.
