鉴于白宫和福克斯新闻之间的旋转门，人们可能会认为唐纳德·特朗普对该电视网只有一些好话可说。这个假设是错误的。周日上午，总统发表了一篇长篇长篇大论他在社交媒体平台上抱怨福克斯没有对他最近的竞选集会提供足够的报道。来自上述长篇大论：我们的员工希望在福克斯新闻上看到我们的集会以及有关我们集会的报道，否则他们很快就会停止观看（就像我现在所做的那样！）。菲克斯花了更多的时间与共产党人、社会党人和民主党人交谈，通常没有反驳，温和地说，MAGA并不快乐。
In light of the revolving door between the White House and Fox News, one might assume that Donald Trump has nothing but great things to say about the network. That assumption would be wrong. On Sunday morning, the president published a lengthy tirade to his social media platform, whining that Fox hadn’t offered sufficient coverage of his recent campaign rallies. From said tirade: Our people want to see our Rallies, and reports on our Rallies, on FoxNews, or they will very quickly stop watching (like I am doing right now!). Fix spends more time talking to Communists, Socialists, and Dumocrats, often without rebuttal, and MAGA is not, to put it mildly, happy.
我们不喜欢愚蠢的杰西卡·塔尔洛夫和所有其他人，他们都被逼进了玛加的喉咙。.谁在福克斯新闻做出这些决定？可能是同一个失败者解雇了伟大的玛丽亚·巴蒂罗姆，因为她抱怨不被允许报道“特朗普”。
We don’t like stupid Jessica Tarlov, and all of the others, that are forced down MAGA’S throats. … Who makes these decisions at FoxNews? Probably the same loser that fired the great Maria Bartiromo because she complained about not being allowed to cover “TRUMP.”
几天前，特朗普发表了一份相关投诉，部分内容是：“为什么福克斯新闻总是让查克·舒默、哈基姆·杰弗里斯、杰西卡·塔尔洛夫和每一位民主党人参加，说共和党的坏话，当然还有我？我实际上认为他们比亲共和党人得到更多的广播时间。这就是为什么MAGA和真正的爱国者永远不会喜欢福克斯！他们不断重复一个完全负面的叙述，然后我们得到了一个快速的反驳。”
A few days earlier, Trump issued a related complaint that read in part, “Why does FoxNews always put Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Jessica Tarlov, and every Democrat on, saying bad things about the Republican Party and, of course, me? I actually think they get more airtime than Pro Republicans. This is why MAGA, and REAL Patriots, will never like Fox! They repeat a completely negative narrative, on and on it goes, and then we get a quick retort.”
一个月前，特朗普同样在网上抱怨香农·布里姆的福克斯节目“对MAGA、‘特朗普’和共和党人有偏见，这太荒谬了！”此前，总统在福克斯新闻上看到一位民主党人后发布了一封信，当时他写道：“MAGA共和党人，实际上接近100%的党员，讨厌福克斯，尽管他们的许多伟大主播和评论员做出了出色的贡献。这样的选举很难赢得！”去年也有很多类似的投诉，其中总统要求福克斯新闻解雇其民意调查机构，因为其发布了他不喜欢的结果。
A month earlier, Trump similarly whined online that Shannon Bream’s Fox show “is so biased against MAGA, ‘TRUMP,’ and Republicans, that it is ridiculous!”That came on the heels of a missive that seemed to have been posted after the president saw a Democrat on Fox News, at which point he wrote“MAGA Republicans, who are actually close to 100% of the Party, hate Fox, despite the wonderful contributions made by so many of their great anchors and commentators. Hard to win Elections like this!”There were plenty of similar complaints last year, including one in which the president demanded that Fox News fire its pollster for releasing results he didn’t like.
这整个攻势显然是被误导的，但更重要的是，它的根源是一种不言而喻的侮辱。
This entire offensive is obviously misguided, but more importantly, it’s rooted in an unspoken insult.
例如，两年前的这个时候，特朗普辩称福克斯新闻“不应该被允许”刊登他的民主党竞争对手的言论。这位共和党人还认为，福克斯新闻“不应该允许”民主党攻击广告特朗普不久后补充道，福克斯新闻应该停止“不断地攻击自由民主党”，因为自由民主党最终“取消”共和党客人。
Around this time two years ago, for example, Trump argued that Fox News “shouldn’t be allowed” to show remarks from his Democratic rival. The Republican also argued that Fox News“shouldn’t allow” Democratic attack ads Trump added shortly after that Fox News should stop “constantly putting on Liberal Democrats” who end up “nullifying” Republican guests.
在2020年总统选举中，他还认为福克斯新闻在“报道”民主党候选人方面做得太过分了。特朗普补充说，福克斯新闻的高管应该优先考虑“让他们到达那里的人”。
In the 2020 presidential election, he also that Fox News was going too far “in covering” Democratic candidates. Trump added that Fox News executives should instead prioritize “the people who got them there.”
《华盛顿邮报》分析指出，这是一种非同寻常的情绪，因为这“明确表达了他的期望，即福克斯新闻至少会淡化对民主党问题和候选人的报道，甚至完全将它们排除在外。”特朗普长期以来一直明确表示，他认为福克斯新闻是一个共和党实体，其存在是为了推进党派事业。这正是为什么当该网络出现一位不遵守政党路线的主持人或嘉宾时，他显得如此愤怒。总统显然无法理解为什么共和党的延期会采取可能偏离共和党目标的措施。
Washington Post analysis noted that it was a remarkable sentiment because it was “an explicit expression of his expectation that Fox News will at least play down coverage of Democratic issues and candidates, if not shut them out entirely.”Trump has long made it clear that he sees Fox News as a Republican entity that exists to advance a partisan cause. It’s precisely why he seems so outraged when the network features a host or guest who fails to toe the party line. The president apparently can’t understand why an extension of the GOP would take steps that might detract from Republican objectives.
换句话说，白宫越是针对福克斯新闻，我们就越意识到特朗普团队将该网络视为政治工具，而不是独立的新闻组织。特朗普对福克斯新闻的最新攻势所言超出了他的意图
In other words, the more the White House targets Fox News, the more we’re reminded that Team Trump sees the network as a political instrument instead of an independent news organization. The post Trump’s latest offensive against Fox News said more than he probably intended MS NOW
