During a recent Fox News interview, the initial broadcast of Donald Trump’s response to a question about declassifying the Jeffrey Epstein files was edited. The full answer, which later aired on a Fox News radio show, revealed Trump’s hesitation about releasing the documents, citing concerns about potentially false information and its impact on individuals. Trump expressed interest in the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death. The discrepancy in the broadcast has raised questions, particularly given Fox News’s generally favorable coverage of Trump and the network has yet to respond to requests for comment.

During a live broadcast on Fox Business, Maria Bartiromo expressed visible shock upon receiving the ADP jobs report for June. Expectations were for a gain of 95,000 jobs, however, the report revealed a loss of 33,000 jobs in the private sector.

During a Fox News interview, Stephen Miller defended the new Florida migrant detention facility, “Alligator Alcatraz,” claiming it isn’t “dehumanizing,” but rather, the entry of undocumented immigrants into the country is. He argued that the facility, located in the Everglades, will house the “worst of the worst” and provide superior care to detainees while also ensuring security. Miller’s assertions come despite data showing a small percentage of detainees have serious criminal backgrounds, with the majority having no criminal history. When asked about Elon Musk’s threats to back primary challenges against GOP members who support Trump’s spending bill, Miller doubled down, stating that opposing the bill would be the same as opposing the deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants.

It’s hard not to notice the parallel with the Dominion lawsuit, the same settlement amount staring us in the face. Is this a strategic move, a calculated jab at Fox News, or perhaps a little bit of both? The sheer audacity of it is fascinating. It’s a clear message, a strong stance against what many perceive as a biased media outlet.
