Donald Trump Jr. isn’t holding back — especially when it comes to Fox News. During a fiery interview with Newsmax host Chris Salcedo on *The Chris Salcedo Show*, the former president’s eldest son unleashed a blistering critique of the once reliably conservative network, accusing it of selling out to RINOs and turning its back on the MAGA movement that made it great.
“Honestly, I don’t watch it anymore because it is so ridiculous,” Trump Jr. said bluntly. “They try so hard to be unbiased that they’re actually biased against conservatives at this point.”
For millions of America First supporters who’ve grown disillusioned with Fox’s constant pandering to the left, his words hit home. Once the go-to network for conservatives, Fox has increasingly alienated its core audience with its obsession over “fairness” — a strategy that has only emboldened left-wing voices and sidelined unapologetic patriots.
Don Jr. didn’t mince words about the culture shift inside Fox News. “These are networks that banned me for two-and-a-half years,” he reminded viewers. “I’m barely on anymore. I know my father was banned.” He’s referring to Fox’s quiet blacklisting of both him and President Trump after January 6 — a move that many conservatives saw as a cowardly capitulation to the corporate media establishment.
“They’re so desperate to look ‘balanced,’” Don Jr. continued, “that they’ve turned into the exact same swamp creatures they once claimed to oppose.”
President Trump himself has also blasted Fox News in recent weeks for its increasingly soft treatment of Democrats. On Truth Social, he slammed the network for giving a friendly, unchallenged platform to Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), calling the segment “a total disgrace.”
“Why is Fox News and Peter Doocy putting on Democrat Senator Mark Kelly to talk about, totally unabated or challenged, healthcare?” Trump wrote. “The FAKE SPIN is so bad for Republicans that it is hard to believe that we WIN. Fox should either get on board, or get off board NOW.”
He didn’t stop there. “They refuse to put up polls that correctly show me at 65% in popularity — a Republican RECORD,” the president said. “But if I have a fake bad poll, many of which are done by Fox, they put them up immediately and with gusto. Republicans are so tired of this fight with Fox always trying to be so politically correct!”
Both Trumps’ remarks reflect a growing sentiment among conservatives: Fox News has abandoned the America First movement that built its ratings empire. The network’s eagerness to appease corporate sponsors and left-wing critics has made it, in Trump Jr.’s words, “unwatchable.”
“Conservatives try so hard. They want to show both sides,” he told Salcedo. “But the left doesn’t care about fairness — they care about power. And Fox is playing right into their hands.”
At a time when networks like Newsmax and Real America’s Voice are gaining traction with viewers hungry for unapologetic truth-telling, Fox’s identity crisis may be costing it more than ratings — it’s losing the trust of the movement that made it matter.
Trump Jr. summed it up perfectly: “They’re not fighting for conservatives anymore. They’re fighting for approval from people who will never like them. And that’s why MAGA has moved on.”
