特朗普总统周日猛烈抨击福克斯新闻在中期选举前给民主党候选人过多播出时间,称该网络的报道给共和党对手带来过多关注,可能损害他们在胶着竞选中的前景。
President Trump on Sunday blasted Fox News for giving too much airtime to Democratic candidates ahead of the midterm elections, arguing that the network’s coverage was bringing too much attention to Republican opponents that could hurt them in tight races.
“福克斯新闻花费太多时间让共和党候选人的对手上镜,这些人热爱我们的国家,拥有伟大的政策和理念,”特朗普在 Truth Social 上写道。“这些美国爱国者正被媒体彻底‘模糊化’,而福克斯几乎没有提供帮助。这才是这场竞争如此胶着的唯一原因,如果它确实胶着的话。”
“FoxNews is spending far too much time putting on the OPPONENTS of Republican Party Candidates, people that love our Country, and have Great Policies and Ideas,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “These American Patriots are being absolutely “blurred out” by the Media, and Fox is doing little to help. That’s the only reason this Race is close, if it is indeed close.”
福克斯新闻已邀请多位民主党人上节目接受采访,包括密歇根州参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-萨耶德、竞选接替即将退休的参议员米奇·麦康奈尔(共和党-肯塔基州)的肯塔基州参议院候选人查尔斯·布克,以及民主党州长提名人罗布·桑德。
Fox News has invited various Democrats onto its programs for interviews, including Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, Kentucky Senate candidate Charles Booker who is running to succeed retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Rob Sand.
特朗普长期批评媒体对共和党的报道,包括福克斯新闻。上周,他指责这家倾向保守的媒体在节目中对民主党候选人过于友善,以达到他先前所谓的“政治正确”。
Trump has long criticized the media for its coverage of Republicans, including Fox News. Last week, he accused the conservative-leaning outlet of being too kind to Democratic candidates on its shows in order to be what he has previously described as “politically correct.”
他对福克斯新闻的最新批评发生在特朗普致电福克斯商业频道主持人拉里·库德洛的节目数小时后,这位前白宫经济顾问在节目中赞扬了特朗普在中期选举前的竞选努力。
His latest critique of Fox News came hours after Trump called into Fox Business host Larry Kudlow’s program, where his former White House economic adviser praised his campaign efforts leading up to the midterm elections.
“你一直在不知疲倦地奔波!你的竞选活动简直是赫拉克勒斯式的壮举。你扭转了局势。你动员了选民。你提振了热情,”库德洛说。
“You’ve been relentless! Your campaigning, it’s Herculean. You’re turning the tide. You’re getting voters out. You’re raising enthusiasm,” Kudlow said.
“我非常努力,”特朗普说。“我在九天内举办了14场集会,这可是不少。”
“I have worked very hard,” Trump said. “I’ve done 14 rallies in nine days and it’s a lot.”
最近几周,特朗普一直在全国各地奔波,为共和党候选人拉票,因为该党正努力在11月保住其在众议院和参议院的多数席位。
Trump has been traveling across the country in recent weeks to rally support for Republican candidates as the party fights to hold onto its House and Senate majorities in November.
