Fox News Chyron Trashes Other Networks For ‘Ignoring’ Trump’s ‘Presidential’ Rally
On Wednesday night, Fox News called out the other networks which neglected to cover the rally that President Donald Trump held Wednesday night in Duluth, MN.
In an impressive show of passive-aggression during the rally, Fox News’ chyron – for several minutes of their broadcast – read: “Trump Rally Live & Only on Fox News: Other Networks Ignore Presidential Rally.”
Indeed, other networks (except for Fox Business and CSPAN, which were also covering the rally) were focused on the new executive order Trump signed seeking to end the policy of separating children from their families.
Thanks for the shade, Fox News. I can’t imagine why other networks chose to forgo airing chants of “CNN Sucks” and Trump boasting about how rich he is for 45 minutes of primetime.
But, as it often does, Twitter threw some shade right back:

As a protester interrupts President Trump’s rally in Duluth, Fox’s chyron switches to inform viewers that MSNBC and CNN aren’t preempting primetime programming for his rally. Prez then asks whether protester is a man or a woman “cause he needs a haircut more than I do.” pic.twitter.com/88cP6DoNpM
