President Donald Trump frequently rants against mainstream news outlets, dismissing unflattering reports as "fake news," but the Republican-leaning Fox News Network usually escapes this ire.

Not this time.

While Fox News remains the President's favorite network thanks to far-right hosts like Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, Trump took to Twitter to rail against Fox's weekend coverage, shaming the network for using a recent New York Times report on detention center conditions as a source.

Read the rant below:



There's a lot to unpack here.

Trump claims in his tweet that the New York Times report on detention centers was "unsourced," claiming that the New York Times—which has operated as a source of information since since 1851—couldn't be trusted.

Responding to an earlier Trump rant about the same report, the Times laid out its sources for building the piece.

Trump's claims that the New York Times, the Fox weekend anchors, Bryan Williams, and others were lying rang with hypocrisy, considering Trump himself has told over 10,000 lies since his inauguration.

People were quick to point this out.






Some theorized that the coverage of the Times report wasn't the only point in Fox's coverage that led to Trump souring on the network.

Like maybe this Fox foible (check out our further coverage here).


Well, this is awkward.

The book The Fox Effect: How Roger Ailes Turned a Network into a Propaganda Machine, available here, gives insight into the Fox effect.

"Based on the meticulous research of the news watchdog organization Media Matters for America, David Brock and Ari Rabin-Havt show how Fox News, under its president Roger Ailes, changed from a right-leaning news network into a partisan advocate for the Republican Party."

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
