  • Fox News Hosts Defend Themselves From On-Air Trump Attack: We Show ‘Both Sides’

    Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade, Ainsley Earhardt and Steve Doocy were forced to defend their employer Tuesday morning as President Donald Trump began attacking the network during an on-air “Fox & Friends” interview.In one of his final chances to speak to the public and advocate for his re-election as many Americans head to the polls, Trump lambasted the cable news channel for airing speeches from former President Barack Obama: “Actually, Fox puts him on more than anybody else, which is sort of shocking to me because Fox has changed a lot. Somebody said, ‘What’s the biggest difference between this and four years ago?’ I say, ‘Fox.’ It’s much different.”He kept going as Kilmeade started to interrupt.Also Read: Trump Rails Against Fox News As Latest Poll Shows Him Down“You still have great people. You’re three of them,” he told Kilmeade, Earhardt and Doocy.Kilmeade continued to attempt to interrupt the president’s attack on his network, saying, “But… but, you know, Mr. President… Can I just say one thing?”The host finally broke through, saying, “We just want to show both. Unlike other networks, we’re trying to show both sides: ‘Hey, here’s President Trump live. Here’s Joe Biden live.'”Earhardt said they couldn’t criticize another network while Kilmeade maintained that showing viewers a politician did not amount to endorsing their views. Doocy added, “We report. They decide.”From there, Kilmeade tried to reroute the conversation so Trump could answer the trio’s original line of questioning about his response to Obama’s comments on his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.Also Read: Fox News' Pre-Election Ad Surge Boosts Parent Company's Cable RevenuesTrump wasn’t having it. “In the old days, they wouldn’t put, you know, they wouldn’t put Sleepy Joe Biden on every time he opened his mouth. They had other networks for that, frankly, and it was run a much different operation. I’m just telling you it’s much different,” he said before praising all of the network’s leading opinion hosts by name and excluding the journalists from the news department.He also criticized the network for interviewing Democrats, then added, “I’m not complaining. I’m just telling people. It’s one of the biggest differences this season compared to last.”Watch part of Trump’s final appeal to Fox News viewers below, via Media Matters.On Fox & Friends, Trump complains that Fox News airs too many Obama speeches: "Fox puts him on more than anybody else, which is sort of shocking to me, cause Fox has changed a lot."

  • Fox News’ Ainsley Earhardt Shuts Down Ted Cruz’s Attack on Chris Wallace: ‘He’s Part of Our Family’

    Fox News’ Ainsley Earhardt shut down Sen. Ted Cruz’s attack on colleague Chris Wallace Thursday morning during “Fox & Friends.”“Look, I think the president’s right on this,” said Cruz of President Donald Trump’s announcement he wouldn’t participate in a virtual debate. “And unfortunately, I think this is a pattern we’ve seen play out throughout the debates, where the moderators and the debate commission have behaved like arms of the Joe Biden campaign. I think at the first debate, I think Chris Wallace did a terrible job moderating. Last night, I think Susan Page did a better job moderating. She didn’t interrupt as much.”He went on with his discussion of how, in his mind, a virtual debate “benefits” Democratic nominee Joe Biden.Also Read: Chris Wallace: Trump 'Bears the Primary Responsibility for What Happened' at Debate (Video)When she got to respond, Earhardt addressed the comments on Wallace: “Well, just to defend Chris Wallace, he’s part of our family and it’s not easy to debate — to moderate a debate — and I’ve watched other moderators say sometimes when you’re up there on stage — all the time when you’re up there on stage — and you’re in charge of asking the questions, you see something different than what the audience is seeing at home and it’s a difficult situation. I thought Chris did a fine job and he’s one of our friends and he’s part of our family, Ted Cruz.”The Republican senator said he understood and Earhardt went on, “All right. I just wanted to clarify that because we love him.”After last week’s debate, Wallace said he’d “never been through anything” like it and reflected on the “desperation” he felt from the moderator’s seat to gain control over the evening.“I’m a pro. I’ve never been through anything like this,” Wallace told the New York Times last Wednesday. “I never dreamt that it would go off the tracks the way it did.”Watch Earhardt and Cruz above, via Fox News.Read original story Fox News’ Ainsley Earhardt Shuts Down Ted Cruz’s Attack on Chris Wallace: ‘He’s Part of Our Family’ At TheWrap

  • Fox News’ Ainsley Earhardt Questions Trump’s Immigration Ban: What About My Au Pair?

    Hours after President Donald Trump announced Monday night he would be temporarily suspending all immigration, “Fox & Friends” co-host Ainsley Earhardt questioned on-air what that meant for her and others like her, given her au pair is foreign-born.Earhardt, recently divorced and a now operating as a single mom, reflected on how the immigration ban could affect farmers in America on work visas, then said, “Many families here — including mine — we have au pairs and we rely on them. I go to work at 3 o’clock in the morning so I need her there and I need her in my house so that she can help me with my daughter.”The mother of four-year-old Hayden continued her critique of the president’s vague plan, saying, “Many families rely on child care from other countries. These au pairs come here on work visas. They have to go back to their country to get the visas renewed and we’ve been talking in my house about how that’s gonna happen. So these are all things — these are questions that we have that hopefully the president will roll out a plan and we’ll all be in informed on all of this is going to affect all of our lives.”Also Read: Trump Says He Will 'Temporarily' Ban All Immigration, Cites Both Coronavirus and 'Jobs'In an interview with People last fall, Earhardt elaborated on what life looks like for her now that she’s a single mother whose job starts before the sun is up. She picks her daughter up from school herself, given the unique hours of her gig. Still, she admitted at the time, “It does have its challenges because it’s just me.”Using the current coronavirus pandemic as only partial justification, Trump announced Monday that he intends to sign an executive order halting all immigration to the United States on a temporary basis.“In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States,” Trump tweeted on Monday night.It is unclear what prompted the decision on Monday, or why protecting “jobs” was included as a justification. While it’s true that the U.S. is currently mired in a severe economic contraction, the situation is a side effect of shutdown measures taken across the country in an attempt to facilitate social distancing and slow the spread of coronavirus, which has killed more than 40,000 people domestically since Feb. 29. There is no evidence that any of the jobs lost since the shutdowns began were actually just given to immigrants instead.Ainsley Earhardt is concerned about Trump's temporary immigration ban because her au pair is an immigrant: "Many families rely on child care from other countries … hopefully the president will roll out a plan and we'll all be informed" pic.twitter.com/7OkUrBfdKX— Bobby Lewis (@revrrlewis) April 21, 2020Read original story Fox News’ Ainsley Earhardt Questions Trump’s Immigration Ban: What About My Au Pair?
