Near the end of an appearance Friday on Fox & Friends, Donald Trump told the hosts that he was following up his guest spot with a “big event”: a meeting with Rupert Murdoch.
Trump also said that he would be telling Murdoch “something very simple because I can’t talk to anybody else about it. Don’t put on negative commercials for 21 days, and don’t put on there the horrible people that come in love. I am going to say, ‘Rupert, please do it this way.’ And then we are going to have a victory. Because I think everyone wants to have a victory.”
On his social media platform Truth Social, Trump has been bashing Fox News for featuring Democrats, including Ian Sams, a spokesperson for Kamala Harris’ campaign.
Trump wrote on Truth Social earlier this week, “Sams is just a below average guy, with memorized FAKE NEWS soundbites, almost all of which are WRONG, but coupled with all of the other Harris Radical Left Democrat mouthpieces that Fox puts on (Richard Fowler, Patrick Murphy, “something” Wolf, Jessica Tarloff?), it has a very negative effect on the Election. Think of it, I spend an hour with the wonderful Maria Bartiromo, do a beautiful job, and then am followed up all day long by one-sided, negative Democrats, including Ian Sams, who virtually owns the Network.”

Fox Corp., parent of Fox News, has not commented on the former president’s remarks about the meeting. A source said that the Harris campaign has ads booked on the network through next week.
Trump also has recently suggested that CBS and ABC should lose their broadcasting licenses — CBS for the way that a 60 Minutes interview with Harris was edited, and ABC for David Muir and Linsey Davis’ fact checking during the presidential debate last month.
