Hell hath no fury like the Left’s disdain for Fox News.

As a prominent news network that employs commentators with a conservative Republican perspective, Fox News has long been a target of the Left’s ire. The Left, often championing inclusivity, ironically demonstrates the opposite when it comes to accepting viewpoints that challenge their ideologies. This intolerance frequently manifests in baseless attacks on the network, as seen in a recent article published on Semafor.

In the article “How Fox News massaged a Trump interview,” the author accused Fox of deceptively editing an interview with former President Donald Trump. The author claimed the most-watched cable news network “papered over the ambiguity” of a response Trump gave during the interview about potentially declassifying files related to Jeffrey Epstein if he wins another term. However, the truth is that Fox News presented the interview without any deceptive editing. The author’s claim was a misleading attempt to discredit a news network he doesn’t agree with, and it was the only truly deceptive element in the situation.

These were the misleading words of an agenda-driven scribe on a mission to try to discredit a news network he doesn’t like. The only thing that was truly deceptive was the author’s claim.

Trump’s interview was shown on Fox News in two parts. The first was aired on Sunday, June 2, and the second on Monday, June 3. The portion of the interview Semafor claimed was edited out was broadcast the following day. It was a baseless attack that was not grounded in reality. Objectively, there was no need for the article in Semafor. The claims the publication made were hogwash.

It’s indicative of how the Left tries to attack Fox (and all so-called conservative media, for that matter). They constantly misrepresent and convolute facts to create divisiveness and spread their agenda-driven misinformation. All the while, they misrepresent vital information in an attempt to discredit political opponents. It’s a system predicated on using misinformation to spread disinformation. It’s a playbook that has its origins in early Soviet Russia.

Critics of Fox should use facts, not baseless and unsubstantiated claims about misrepresented news stories. Disagreeing with the network based on ideological preferences is one thing. Purposely being dishonest to advance specific ideological narratives and try to influence opinions is another. The latter is shameful and should not be tolerated. We should all strive for honest discourse, regardless of our political leanings.
