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."

And he expressed frustration that "we still have anti-vaxxers running around" with the capacity to make even more trouble for public health officials.

MAGA Politicians Get Blunt Factcheck After Trying To Blame Biden For Screwworm Emergency In Texas

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall were called out after blaming a rise in screwworm infections in Texas cattle on former President Joe Biden—even though it was President Donald Trump's administration that cut funding for programs that track the parasite.

Earlier, the Department of Agriculture announced that a case of New World Screwworm—a flesh-eating parasitic fly—has been detected in a three-week-old calf near La Pryor, Texas, about 30 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. The discovery marks the parasite's arrival in the U.S. after it spread northward through Central America and Mexico over recent years.

Savannah Guthrie Opens Up About What She Tells Her Kids Amid Her Mom's Disappearance In Emotional 'Today' Clip

Some say that parenting is an impossible job, with an unending list of decisions and possible missteps, but parenting might feel uniquely impossible to someone in Savannah Guthrie's position.

Guthrie's mother, 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, went missing from her home at the end of January. Her absence was first noted when she did not appear at church service that Sunday. One of her doors was discovered ajar and a single image of a blurry figure was caught on camera, and there's been no sign of her or her whereabouts since.
