In a shocking turn of events, Fox News was forced to retract a hit piece targeting the one and only Donald J. Trump. Talk about a major oopsie! It seems like the folks over at Fox must have had some egg on their faces when they admitted to “inaccurately attributing” an anti-Trump quote to former Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price. Looks like someone didn’t do their fact-checking homework!
Fox Retracts "Fake News" Hit Piece on Trump, Admits Inaccuracyhttps://t.co/WWIsJbp7PR

The original headline, “Former Trump Cabinet member tells him to ‘kiss’ his ‘butt’,” was certainly attention-grabbing. But it turns out, it was all a bunch of hogwash! According to the corrected article, Price never actually said those exact words. Golly gee, Fox, how did you get that one so wrong?

A source close to Price said he:
(1) never heard from Fox News on this matter
(2) did not write an email to Fox News on this matter
(3) this is not Price's quote.

Now, let’s not beat around the bush here. It’s no secret that the mainstream media just can’t resist taking potshots at our champion, Donald Trump. They’ll latch onto any opportunity to smear his name, even if it means playing fast and loose with the facts. I tell ya, the liberal media bias is real, folks.
What sets Fox News apart is their supposed commitment to fair and balanced reporting. Well, this fiasco certainly raises some eyebrows. How on earth did such a colossal blunder slip through the cracks? It seems like they may have been a little too quick on the trigger to publish a juicy anti-Trump story without bothering to verify its authenticity. Shame on you, Fox!
Now, we all know that Trump was never one to shy away from controversy during his time in office. But let’s not forget the contributions of Tom Price, who was unceremoniously fired by Trump back in 2017. Looks like Fox saw an opportunity to stir the pot and paint Price as an anti-Trump renegade. Oh, the lengths they’ll go to create drama!
In the end, Fox News had no choice but to swallow their pride and admit their mistake. But is an apology really enough? This incident just further highlights the rampant bias we see in the media today. It’s high time we demand better from these so-called news outlets. We deserve the truth, not some twisted, agenda-driven version of it.
So, there you have it, folks. The truth has finally come out, and it’s a doozy. Fox News messed up big time, and they can’t even blame it on fake news this time. It’s clear as day that their anti-Trump bias got the best of them. Let’s hope they learn a valuable lesson from this embarrassing blunder and start focusing on reporting the facts, not their own political agenda.
