Donald Trump’s run for the highest post in the United States of America has got some hurdles. While he faces his legal cases, there are other things that hold on to him, and that is his inability to come on Fox News over the last couple of months. Trump was heavily promoted by Fox News in the past and would appear Live on the news network, but it looks like things have changed now.
Trump and Fox are not seeing each other eye to eye. While there are people who may support Trump, the brand as a whole doesn’t want to take risks with the former President. His words could harm the brand and that’s the last thing Fox would want at this juncture. According to Matt Gertz of Media Matters of America, the appended could be the reason for Fox’s far away approach to Donald Trump.
Fox News’ record defamation settlement stemmed in part from its on-air Trump fanatics refusing to correct their guests’ election-denial conspiracy theories live, even when they knew their claims were lies. It’s wildly implausible to imagine the likes of Sean Hannity pushing back on Trump’s rigged-election fantasies, so it looks like Fox’s lawyers may have engineered a solution that doesn’t require its propagandists to perform journalism.
According to a detail on Yahoo News, Trump’s time away from Fox News was searched on by The Daily Beast and Media Matters for America. Trump who continued to be a regular appearence on Fox News hasn’t been on the news network for a considerable time. Trump last phoned in live to a Fox News program in April of 2022.

Trump is now appearing in a limited capacity and in pre-recorded interviews. He isn’t allowed to speak his mind anyway he wants. It is one of the reasons why Fox hosts and anchors including Sean Hannity, Bret Baier, and Larry Kudlow have had seated interviews with the former president. People from both sides are trying to stay long distance until the primary.
Donald Trump has a lot going on for him. It includes his trials, his cases and other things that have impacted how he functions. Trump had previously admitted that he loves live interviews as people can’t edit things, but it looks like he has been edited out of the Fox News table and phone line for now.
Fox News, there has been a noticeable shift away from Donald Trump in its news coverage. Kind of strange considering about 99% of their viewers really like Donald Trump. He happens to be the best thing to happen to America since Ronald Reagan and Fox doesn't like him? Fox Woke? pic.twitter.com/AMAHBmS88A
