Deep dives
Fox News downplays Trump's indictment and twists facts
Fox News anchors minimize the charges against Trump, twist the facts in the indictment, and claim that Trump is somehow representative of every disgruntled American. The network frames Trump's plight as if the federal government can do this to Trump, they can do it to anyone. Fox News personalities and guests falsely claim that the charges against Trump are a violation of his freedom of speech. They downplay the severity of the January 6th attack and use every opportunity to bring up various unverified claims of criminal misconduct by Hunter Biden and his father. The Fox News strategy is to lie, minimize, and deflect.
