Donald Trump Lashes Out At Fox

What happened

Updated Nov 3, 9:06pm ET

President Donald Trump attacked Fox News’ polling, commentary and election coverage in a series of Truth Social posts on midterm election night.
Trump insulted liberal co-host Jessica Tarlov and texted complaints to her fellow host Greg Gutfeld, who read his message on air.
Fox’s voter poll showed Trump’s approval at 38%; he called the poll’s questions a “hit job.”
Trump claimed Fox’s ratings were falling because it covered Democrats too much and was against him.
Control of Congress remained unresolved in the reporting, with the results set to shape the rest of Trump’s second term.

How the left told it

Left-leaning outlets emphasized Trump’s angry, personal reaction to Fox’s election coverage. The New York Times described three attacks in 95 minutes and his direct text to Gutfeld. HuffPost and the Daily Beast used sharper language, calling his behavior a “meltdown” and framing his calls to reporters as preemptive damage control.

How the right told it

Right-leaning outlets also emphasized Trump’s anger, often linking it to unfavorable polling. The Daily Mail called his posts a “profanity-laced tirade” and detailed voters’ concerns about gas prices. The Washington Times highlighted “grim poll numbers,” while Breitbart described “early frustration” as Trump watched election results.
