Fox News Goes on Defense After Meidas Biden Interview

Written by Ben Meiselas

I’ll keep this short since I know you’re super busy. By the way, I’m looking forward to sharing my Sunday Morning Coffee post with you soon. Back to this post.

While I don’t watch Fox “News,” I started hearing from others that Fox was running clips from our interview with President Biden on loop all day. It was featured on all their shows, including The Jesse Watters Show, Fox & Friends, The Five, and others.

Not surprisingly, Fox was trying to use clips from the interview to attack President Biden. What else would you expect from them?

However, in my view, this interview finally shifted the dynamic of political coverage. Finally. Too frequently, networks react to interviews of Trump and use clips from those interviews. So all you see is Trump. Here, Fox was reacting to an interview of President Biden, where he was strong and insightful. Fox had to show the interview to try and undermine it.

I think Fox and other networks realized that the interview of President Biden completely contradicted their narratives about him. Fox and corporate media have spent years undermining President Biden. They were defensive because this interview showed what a real, substantive conversation actually looked like, and it presented the real President Biden—the one they’ve worked so hard to defame and besmirch.

It seemed to me that Fox was scared. The interview painted a portrait of a humble statesman devoted to public service, and it stood in stark contrast to the behavior of Donald Trump.

For once, Fox was put on the defensive, and they didn’t seem to know how to handle it.

Let’s keep building on this momentum together.

Please share our full interview with President Biden with as many people as you can.
