Trump Gets Early Start To His Election Day Attacks On Media, Targeting Fox

Former President Donald Trump didnt wait until polls were closed on Election Day to start attacking the media.

On Tuesday, Trump seemed irate that Fox had aired recent footage of TV legend Oprah Winfrey , whod suggested the night before that if Trump were to retake the White House, it is entirely possible that we will not have the opportunity to ever cast a ballot again.

I think its ridiculous, Trump said  of Winfreys remarks after casting his own vote in Florida.

The presidential candidate said he was disappointed in Winfrey for warning about the dangers of a second Trump term while stumping for his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris , at a Monday rally  in Philadelphia.

I think Oprahs become a major divider in our country, and I think frankly she should be ashamed of herself, he continued, before pivoting his criticism away from the former talk show host.

You know who else should be ashamed? Fox, he went on. Ive seen Oprah on Fox about 50 times making the same statement, and I think its a disgrace what Fox does.

Everyone thinks Fox is so pro-Trump, he said. Theyre not pro-Trump at all. Theyve put Oprah on all morning long.

Its not secret that Fox News , owned by the Fox Corp., has a conservative bent. But Trump has laid into the network multiple times in recent months over perceived slights.

When Fox News covered Harris remarks after she visited the southern U.S. border in September, he claimed that the network shouldnt have been allowed to air comments from the Democrats campaign stop.

Its all lies. Its all lies, he said at a rally in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. Everything she said is a lie.

Weeks later, he said that Fox News had totally lost its way  after it announced a planned interview between Harris and anchor Bret Baier, complaining about a Harris aides appearances on the network.
