特朗普总统在选举之夜抨击福克斯新闻，攻击该网络的主持人、民调和报道，当时选民正等待中期选举结果。
President Trump lashed out at Fox News on election night, attacking the network's personalities, polling and coverage as voters awaited midterm election results.
重要性：特朗普曾多次与福克斯新闻掌门人鲁珀特·默多克共进晚餐，并从该网络挖角人才，他已习惯获得有利报道。但福克斯本选举周期的编辑决定表明，它并不总是愿意顺从。
Why it matters: Trump, who has repeatedly dined with Fox News patriarch Rupert Murdoch and hired talent from the network, has come to expect favorable coverage. But Fox's editorial decisions this election cycle suggest it isn't always willing to oblige.
最新进展：在蓝色浪潮初现的阴影下，特朗普于周二午夜前几分钟写道：“福克斯新闻[原文如此]应对这些失利负责，因为它持续且一贯地安排‘民粪’党反对派上节目，甚至更糟。”
The latest: Under the shadow of a burgeoning blue wave, Trump wrote minutes before midnight Tuesday that "FoxNews [sic] bears responsibility for these losses by constantly and consistently putting on the Dumocrat opposition, and worse."
新闻背景：特朗普在当晚开始时批评福克斯联合主持人、民主党策略师杰西卡·塔洛夫，称他要“去别的地方”，直到她下节目为止。
Driving the news: Trump began the night by criticizing Jessica Tarlov, a Fox co-host and Democratic strategist, saying he'd "go somewhere else" until she was off the air.
- 据报道，他甚至给她的搭档格雷格·古特费尔德发短信抱怨。
• He reportedly went so far as to text her co-host, Greg Gutfeld, to complain.
- 他的愤怒随后转向福克斯的政治民调，声称：“每个问题都是打击报复，每个答案都是‘狗屁！’”约半小时后，他发帖称福克斯的收视率下降“是因为他们花太多时间报道‘特朗普癫狂症民粪党’！”
• His ire then turned toward Fox's political polling, claiming, "Every question is a hit job, and every answer is 'BULLSHIT!'" Around half an hour later, he posted that Fox's ratings were down "because they're spending too much time covering the Trump Deranged Dumocrats!"
- 特朗普指着一项“新CNN民调”作为替代，吹捧显示其在“让美国再次伟大”共和党人中实力强劲的数据。但他当晚早些时候发布的两段CNN民调内容均已过一个多月。
• Trump pointed to a "new CNN Poll" as an alternative, touting data demonstrating his strength among MAGA Republicans. But the two CNN polling segments he posted earlier in the night were both well over a month old.
局势特朗普与福克斯新闻的紧张关系一直是本选举季及以往选举中的紧张来源。
State of play Trump's rocky relationship with Fox News has been a source of tension this election season and in previous elections.
- 据Axios的亚历克斯·伊森施塔特近日报道，福克斯对密歇根州民主党参议员提名人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德的报道已助长数月紧张局势。据报道，共和党人担心福克斯正在削弱将埃尔-赛义德描绘为远离主流的努力。
• Fox's coverage of Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed has fueled tensions for months, Axios' Alex Isenstadt recently reported. Republicans reportedly worried that Fox was undercutting efforts to brand El-Sayed as far outside the mainstream.
- 10月下旬，特朗普发帖称，福克斯“花太多时间让共和党候选人的对手、那些热爱我们国家、拥有伟大政策和理念的人上节目”。他还说：“这就是这场选情胶着的唯一原因——如果它确实胶着的话。”
• In late October, Trump posted that Fox was "spending far too much time putting on the OPPONENTS of Republican Party Candidates, people that love our Country, and have Great Policies and Ideas." He added, "That's the only reason this Race is close, if it is indeed close."
- 白宫和福克斯均未立即回应Axios的置评请求。
• The White House and Fox did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment. Meanwhile,
与此同时，特朗普的前白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特如今是福克斯的政治评论员，她在该台的选举之夜报道中露面，称自己刚刚与总统通过话。
Trump's former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, now a Fox pundit, appeared on the network's election night coverage and said she had just spoken with the president. Reality check:
事实核查：默多克虽然是保守派，但一直对新闻事业充满热情。
Murdoch, while he is a conservative, has always been passionate about the news business.
- 毕竟，福克斯新闻在2020年提前宣布前总统拜登赢下亚利桑那州，曾引发特朗普阵营的愤怒。
• Fox News did, after all, spark Trumpworld's ire by calling Arizona early for former President Biden in 2020. Zoom in:
深入来看：福克斯新闻的商业考量意味着它要着眼于长期公信力，而非短期的采访渠道和收视率——后两者在上月选举前夕出现了下滑。
Fox News' business imperative means focusing on long-term credibility over short-term access and ratings — which took a downward turn last month in the lead-up to the election.
- 收视率下滑可能表明，随着选前民调显示民主党可能有所斩获，部分共和党观众不再收看。但对特朗普而言，他一直试图把这场选举变成对自己人气的公投，所以这事关个人。
• The ratings decline could suggest some Republican viewers tuned out as pre-election polls pointed to possible Democratic gains. But for Trump, who has tried to make it a referendum on his popularity, it's personal.
